The Volkswagen Golf or VW Golf (Mk1 and Mk5 badged as Volkswagen Rabbit in the United States and Canada, Mk1 badged as Volkswagen Caribe in Mexico) is a compact car/small family car manufactured by Volkswagen. The front-wheel drive Golf was Volkswagen's first successful replacement for the air-cooled Volkswagen Beetle. Historically, it is Volkswagen's best-selling model and the world's third best-selling model, with more than 25 million built by 2007.

Most production of the Golf was initially in the 3-door hatchback style. Other variants include a 5-door hatchback, station wagon (estate / Variant, from 1993), convertible (Cabriolet and Cabrio, 1979-2002), and a Golf-derived notchback saloon (sedan), variously called Volkswagen Jetta, Vento or Bora (from 1979). The cars have filled many market segments from basic personal cars to high-performance hot hatches.

On its home market, the Golf's success popularised the use of the hatchback in the C segment of cars and began the entire Golf class.
