The Alberta Golden Bears are the men's sport teams that represent the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The women's teams are known as the Alberta Pandas.

The Golden Bears compete in 12 sports administered by Canadian Interuniversity Sport in the Canada West conference.

The football and soccer teams play their home games at Foote Field, while the hockey team plays at Clare Drake Arena, and the basketball and volleyball teams home is the Saville Community Sports Centre.

The Bears are considered a strong school team in Canada in multiple sports. The hockey and volleyball teams, in particular, are frequent challengers in Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championships.

The hockey team has won a total of 15 National Championships and 25 Canada West championships, having won 5 National Championships (04-05, 05-06, 07-08, 13-14, 14-15) and 13 Canada West championships in the past 15 seasons.

The volleyball team has been strong over the past decade, having been crowned National Champions on four occasions: 2008, 2009, 2014, and 2015. In addition, they were runners-up in 2006 and 2007. They have also won the Canada West 13 times.

In addition to their success over Canadian competition, the Golden Bears host the annual Husky Energy Can-Am Challenge of Champions tournament, where they frequently spearhead the Canadian contingent's success. This tournament sees four top teams from both Canada and the USA competing for supremacy, with the Canadian teams holding the overall title, having won 9 of the 13 tournaments.

The Alberta Golden Bears football team has been in competition since 1910. The Golden Bears have won three Vanier Cup national championships, in 1967, 1972 and most recently in 1980. The program has also won 18 Hardy Cup conference titles, second only to the Saskatchewan Huskies who have won 19 of them. The Golden Bears have also had two players win the Hec Crighton Trophy, with Mel Smith winning in 1971 and Bryan Fryer winning the award in 1975.
