Isaura Gomes (born 22 February 1944) is a Cape Verdean politician and pharmacist.
She graduated as the top of her class in secondary school, but did not get a scholarship to go to a university in Portugal, as the scholarship instead went to the son of a Portuguese citizen although the son had lower grades than she did.
However, the next year Cape Verde's only dentist helped her get a full scholarship to study pharmacy at the University of Coimbra, where she also received scholarships as the top-ranking student, as well as tutoring her classmates.
After graduating in 1967 she worked in Portugal briefly before returning to Cape Verde in 1970.
