Golgotha is the fifteenth studio album by the American heavy metal band W.A.S.P., released in October 2015. The title is another name for Calvary, the site outside Jerusalem's walls where Jesus was crucified.

It followed Babylon from 2009, and that six-year wait remains the longest between studio albums in the band's career. It also turned out to be the last record with drummer Mike Dupke, who left just before it came out. For anyone tracing W.A.S.P. beyond their 1980s and early 1990s heyday, it is the sound of a long-running band returning after its biggest break, and it sits between Babylon and the 2018 Crimson Idol reworking, Reidolized.
