Mushran is a Kashmiri Pandit clan or surname, native to the Kashmir Valley in Jammu and Kashmir, India.

Usage
Mushran as a last name is amongst the most prominent last name used by Kashmiri Brahmins. Naming in Kashmir has often come from informal origins, mostly from nicknames. The word 'Mushran' means "ugly like a fierce demon" in the Kashmiri language. According to local folktale, Kashmiri mothers used to scare their misbehaving children with the tale of a Mushran. Eventually with time, this nickname, like many others, has become a surname in Kashmir.
