The Golden Spin of Zagreb (Croatian: Zlatna pirueta Zagreba) is an annual senior-level figure skating competition, held yearly in Zagreb, Croatia. Medals are awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing, although, in some years, not every discipline is included. The equivalent for junior-level (and below) skaters is the Golden Bear of Zagreb.
The 2001 Golden Spin of Zagreb was used as the qualifying competition for the 2002 Winter Olympics.
