The Golden Spin of Zagreb (Croatian: Zlatna pirueta Zagreba) is an annual senior-level figure skating competition, held yearly in Zagreb, Croatia. Skaters compete in four disciplines: men's singles, ladies singles, pair skating, and ice dancing, although, in some years, not every discipline was included in the program.

The 2001 competition was used as the Olympic qualifying competition for the 2002 Winter Olympics.^[1]

The Junior-level and below equivalent is the Golden Bear of Zagreb.
