In this paper, we introduce a new distribution called transmuted Gompertz distribution (TGD). Some properties of this distribution will be discussed. The rth traditional moments, TL-moments, L-moments are derived. The maximum likelihood estimation of the unknown parameters is discussed. Real data are used to determine whether the TGD is better than Gompertz distribution (GD) or not.
