The '''Popular Association – Golden Dawn''' (Greek: Λαϊκός Σύνδεσμος – Χρυσή Αυγή, Laïkós Sýndesmos – Chrysí Avgí), usually known simply as '''Golden Dawn''' (Greek: Χρυσή Αυγή, Chrysí Avgí pronounced [xriˈsi avˈʝi]), is an ultranationalist, far-right political party in Greece. Scholars and media have described it as neo-[[Nazi]] and fascist, though the group rejects these labels. Members have expressed admiration for the former Greek dictators [[Ioannis Metaxas]] of the 4th of August Regime (1936 – 1941), the various leaders of the [[Hellenic State]] during [[World War II]] (1941 - 1944), and [[Georgios Papadopoulos]] of the Regime of the Colonels (1967 – 1974). They have also made use of alleged Nazi symbolism, and have praised figures of Nazi Germany in the past. According to academic sources, the group is racist and xenophobic, and the party's leader has openly identified it as nationalist and racist.

The group's founder and leader, [[Nikolaos Michaloliakos]], began the foundations of what would become Golden Dawn in 1980, when he published the first issue of the right-wing, pro-military junta journal with that name. In this context, Golden Dawn had its origins in the movement that worked towards a return to right-wing military dictatorship in Greece.
