The Broighter Gold is a collection of gold artefacts that were found in 1896 by Tom Nicholl on farmland near Limavady, Northern Ireland.[1]

The find consisted of a miniature ship, complete with fittings and oars, two necklets, a bowl and a hollow collar.[2]

The pieces are currently displayed in the National Museum in Dublin. A copy of the collection is kept at the Ulster Museum in Belfast.
