The Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards (臺北金馬影展) is a film festival and awards ceremony held annually in Taiwan (the Republic of China) since 1962. The awards ceremony is usually held in November/December in Taipei, though the venue has been shifted around the island in recent times.

The Golden Horse Film Awards (金馬獎) are modelled after the Academy Awards and major film festivals worldwide. The awards, contested by submitted Taiwan, Hong Kong, PRC films and from elsewhere, are generally held to be the most prestigious for Chinese-language films outside the People's Republic of China.

Winners are selected by a jury of judges during the week before the ceremony is held. Winners are awarded with a golden horse statuette, with a citation, during a broadcast ceremony.

The Golden Horse awards ceremony is held after a month-long festival showcasing some of the nominated feature films for the awards.

Under current regulations, every film made primarily in a Chinese language is eligible for competition. Since 1996, a liberalization act allows for an artiste or film from the People's Republic of China to enter the Awards. A few Mainland artistes and films have won, as in Best Actor Xia Yu (夏雨) in 1996, Best Actress Qin Hailu (秦海璐) in 2001 and Kekexili: Mountain Patrol in 2004.

The name 金馬 comes from the islands of Quemoy (金門) and Matsu (馬祖), to commemorate the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis.
