Gökmedrese or Gök Medrese, is a 13th-century Anatolian Seljuk medrese, in Tokat, Turkey. It is dated to 1269-1270. The patron was Mu'in al-Din Suleyman (a vizier of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum).

The Gök Medrese is acknowledged for possibly the earliest known example of pure Mo'araq mosaic: complete inlaid cut-tilework with no intervening space between the tile fragments.

An example of Seljuk architecture, the building hosted for years the "Tokat Müzesi" (Museum of Tokat), an archaeological and ethnographical museum, until the latter moved in 2012 to a location in the bedesten area.
