The Gouden Leeuw (Dutch: Golden Lion) was a Dutch ship of the line armed with 80-82 cannon. The vessel was built for the Admiralty of Amsterdam in 1666 during the Second Anglo-Dutch War. The Gouden Leeuw was for a time the largest Dutch warship. During the Third Anglo-Dutch War, the ship served as the flagship of Lieutenant Admiral Cornelis Tromp. She was Tromp's flagship at the Battle of the Texel in 1673, with the Irishman Thomas Tobiasz as his flag captain. She was broken up in 1686.
