Royal Astronomical Societyn kultamitali

Royal Astronomical Societyn kultamitali () on korkein brittiläisen Royal Astronomical Societyn myöntämä palkinto. Sitä on jaettu vuodesta 1824, ja sen saajat ovat usein olleet tunnettuja ja merkittäviä tieteilijöitä, kuten Albert Einstein ja Stephen Hawking.

Vuodesta 1964 lähtien on vuosittain jaettu kaksi palkintoa: toinen fysiikasta ja toinen geofysiikasta. Palkintoa ei ole jaettu vuosina 1825, 1832, 1834, 1838, 1844, 1847, 1848, 1864, 1871, 1873, 1877, 1880, 1890, 1891, 1920, 1941 ja 1942.
