'''''The Golden Pillow''''' ({{zh|s=金枕头|t=金枕頭}}) is a 40-episode epic drama produced by the [[Television Corporation of Singapore]] (now [[Mediacorp|MediaCorp]]) in 1995.

==Synopsis==
The story is about Ren Niang, who attempts to find success and happiness in his life. Born in Thailand, Ren Niang goes to Singapore in search of his long-lost biological father Sai Qilin and gets entangled in a love triangle along the way. He chances upon a mysterious "golden pillow" rumoured to possess magical powers. Part of the plot involves various characters trying to get their hands on the golden pillow.

==Legacy==
The series was one of earliest Singaporean drama series to be filmed on location overseas (part of it was filmed in [[Europe]]).

At the [[Star Awards 2007]] anniversary special celebrating 25 years of local Chinese television, the scene of [[Fann Wong]], [[Zoe Tay]] and [[Alex Man]] "listening" to the golden pillow was named one of the top 5 most memorable scenes. [[Xie Shaoguang]]'s character Sai Wei was voted one of the top 10 most memorable villains.
