The Golden Road (1965–1973) is a twelve-CD box set of the Grateful Dead's studio and live albums released during their time with Warner Bros. Records, from 1965 to 1973. After 1973, the band went on to create its own label, Grateful Dead Records. Also included in the box set is a two-disc bonus album, Birth of the Dead, containing very early recordings of the band.

The Golden Road contains expanded and remastered versions of all of the albums released during the band's time on contract with Warner Bros. Also included are numerous studio outtakes and live tracks. In 2003 these bonus tracks were appended to the individual releases of the respective albums, and Birth of the Dead was also given independent release.

The albums included in the box set are Birth of the Dead, The Grateful Dead, Anthem of the Sun, Aoxomoxoa, Live/Dead, Workingman's Dead, American Beauty, Grateful Dead (also known as Skull and Roses), Europe '72, and History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One (Bear's Choice). Anthem of the Sun appears in its original (1968) mix, but the Aoxomoxoa in this set is the 1971 remix, not the original (1969) mix.
