Golders Green tube station is a London Underground station in Golders Green, north London. The station is located at the crossroads of Finchley Road, Golders Green Road and North End Road, with an exit to Golders Green bus station, and a former exit to Finchley Road which is now closed. Adjacent to the station is the Golders Green Hippodrome, home to the BBC Concert Orchestra for many years.

The station is on the Edgware branch of the Northern Line, between Brent Cross and Hampstead stations, and in Travelcard Zone 3. It is the first station in the open after the deep tunnel under Hampstead Heath.

Constructed as a northern terminus of the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway it opened on 22 June 1907 until becoming a through station with the opening of the first section of the extension towards Edgware on 19 November 1923.

To the south, between Golders Green and Hampstead stations is the uncompleted North End or Bull & Bush station. Golders Green was the last station on the Northern Line to retain Semaphore signals, being replaced in 1950.
