Rabbi Yochanan ben Gudgada, of the second tannaitic generation, was a levite who served as a doorkeeper in the Temple, and the Mishnah preserves him as a witness to its practice; it also records that he ate his ordinary food by the standard of purity required for consecrated food all his days.

He is named some ten times in five tractates, heaviest in Yevamot and Gitin. He appears beside Rabbi Elazar ben Chisma, with whom the tradition pairs him among the sages Rabban Gamliel raised up.

A levite doorkeeper of the Temple.
