Golden Kamuy (Japanese: ゴールデンカムイ, Hepburn: Gōruden Kamui) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Satoru Noda. It was serialized in Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Weekly Young Jump from August 2014 to April 2022, with its chapters collected in thirty-one tankōbon volumes. The story follows Saichi Sugimoto, a veteran of the early twentieth-century Russo-Japanese War, and his quest to find a huge fortune of gold of the Ainu people, helped by a young Ainu girl named Asirpa. The Ainu language in the story is supervised by Hiroshi Nakagawa, an Ainu language linguist from Chiba University.

An anime television series adaptation produced by Geno Studio aired with two seasons from April to December 2018. A third season aired from October to December 2020. A fourth season produced by Brain's Base aired from October 2022 to June 2023. A fifth season adapting the manga's final arc has been announced. A live-action film adaptation premiered in Japanese theaters in January 2024. The manga has been licensed for an English-language release by Viz Media since 2016. The anime is licensed by Crunchyroll.

By March 2023, the Golden Kamuy manga had over 24 million copies in circulation, making it one of the best-selling manga series. The manga won the 9th Manga Taishō in 2016 and the 22nd Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2018.
