The Native Sons of the Golden West is a charitable and fraternal organization founded in 1875 to promote the history and lore of the early days of the state of California.

Organized locally into "Parlors," the group is perhaps best-known for the large number of commemorative markers it has placed throughout the state.

They have a sister organization, the Native Daughters of the Golden West. The term Golden West is a common colloquialism for California, popularly known as the Golden State.
