Gina Parvaneh Cody CM is a Canadian-Iranian engineer and business leader.

In 1989, Cody became the first woman in Canada to earn a PhD in building engineering. In 2018, following her donation of $15 million, Concordia University renamed its faculty of engineering and computer science after her (the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science), making it the first university engineering and computer science faculty to be named after a woman in Canada, and one of the first internationally.
