Golden Feelings was the debut studio album by American musical artist Beck, released in 1993 by Sonic Enemy. The album showcases his roots in the anti-folk scene.

Initially only available in limited quantities on cassette, Sonic Enemy remastered the album and re-released it on CD in mid-1999.[2] Beck was upset that they did so without his permission and, after he made his displeasure known, Sonic Enemy ceased to press any more copies.[3] Only 2,000 were made, causing the CD to become quite valuable.[4]

AllMusic.com described the album as "an extremely interesting, entertaining, and humorous document that proves that from the start Beck had his heart set on making experimentation his only gimmick".[5]
