Juansher[a] was the second Mihranid prince of Caucasian Albania, ruling the kingdom from 637 to 669. He was the son and successor of Varaz Grigor (r. 628–637).

Throughout his reign, Juansher changed his allegiance thrice. He was at first subject to the Sasanian Empire between 637–651, then the Byzantine Empire between 653–665, and finally the Umayyad Caliphate between 665–669. He was assassinated during the Feast of the Cross and succeeded by his nephew Varaz-Tiridates I.
