The Golden Fleece is a pub in York, England. It was mentioned in the York Archives as far back as 1503 and is rumoured to be haunted. The inn claims to be the most haunted public house in the City of York. The back yard of the inn is named "Peckitt's Yard" after John Peckett, who owned the premises as well as being Lord Mayor of York around 1702. His wife Lady Alice Peckett is said to haunt the pub, which was recently featured on the British TV programme Most Haunted. ("Many guests have reported seeing the late Lady Peckett wandering the endless corridors and staircases in the wee, small hours and, including ghostly apparitions and moving furniture, hers is just one of the five resident spirits." - quote from pub website)

The pub is situated on The Pavement in the centre of York, opposite the historic Tudor street known as The Shambles. It has a recognisable large golden fleece (dead sheep) hanging above the door. Nearby attractions also include the Merchant Adventurer's Hall (who were former owners of the inn themselves), Cliffords Tower, The Shambles and York Minster.
