Golden Shower of Hits is the third studio album by the American hardcore punk band the Circle Jerks. Despite the titling, this is not a compilation album. It was released on July 21, 1983 through Allegiance Records and was the band's last album to feature Roger Rogerson on bass and Lucky Lehrer on drums. After their departures, the band's music would take a different direction on their next studio album, Wonderful (1985).

[edit] Culture
- Track 12, "Golden Shower of Hits (Jerks on 45)" (which is a riff on the popular "Stars on 45" medley from 1981), contains a medley of six cover versions strung together to create a story line of two people who fall in love, have an unplanned pregnancy, rush into marriage, and end up divorced.
- The songs "Coup d'État" and "When the Shit Hits the Fan" were featured on the soundtrack to the film Repo Man in 1984. "When the Shit Hits the Fan" was re-recorded for the soundtrack with Earl Liberty and Chuck Biscuits replacing Rogerson and Lehrer.
