Golden Arrow (1961–1988?) was a Thoroughbred race horse in New England during the 1960s and 70s. While racing in the spring and summer of 1978, Golden Arrow, at the age of 17, won 5 of 7 starts. He had previously won the Thanksgivings Day Handicap, at Lincoln Downs in 1965, as a 4 year old.

His exploits were documented nation-wide as the apprentice jockey Debbie Riemer rode him in all of his victories that summer of 1978.

Golden Arrow won 58 times in his career, which remains one of the highest totals in racing history. He was always a Narragansett Park favorite.

On September 25, 1978, Golden Arrow won his last race at the Barrington Fair. He raced from age 3 to 18, and after one start at 18, never raced again.
