Laburnum anagyroides (common laburnum, golden chain or golden rain) is a species in the subfamily Faboideae and genus Laburnum.

It is native to Central and Southern Europe.

The plant grows and flowers in damp and mild habitats, especially in the calcareous soils of Southern Europe.

The plant is a small deciduous tree or large shrub up to 7 meters tall. It has smooth bark, dark green spreading branches and pendulous and pubescent twigs. The leaves are generally trifoliate and oval with long petioles, smooth on the upperside and hairy on the underside.

Laburnum anagyroides blooms in late spring with pea-like, yellow flowers densely packed in pendulous racemes 10–25 cm long. The flowers are golden yellow, sweet-scented, and typically bloom in May.
