Chandro Tomar (10 January 1932 – 30 April 2021) was an Indian octogenarian sharpshooter from the village of Johri in the Bagpat district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
Since learning to shoot in 1999 when she was already in her 60s, she had attained national fame as an accomplished shooter, having won more than 30 national championships. She was referred to as the oldest (woman) sharpshooter in the world and a "feminist icon." The Uttar Pradesh government renamed the Noida Shooting Range and a road of her village after her name later.
