Trump National Golf Club, Bedminster is a private golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Approximately forty miles (65 km) west of New York City, it is owned and operated by The Trump Organization.

Donald Trump bought the property, which included the estate of automaker John Z. De Lorean, for less than $35 million in 2002. It was previously known as Lamington Farm and the site of a foundering golf course construction project. The 36-hole club was built by golf course architects, Tom Fazio and Tom Fazio II, and the first course opened thirteen years ago in 2004.

Membership in the club costs around $300,000 In 2005, Golf Magazine ranked it at #73 in the United States and #84 by Golf Digest for 2005 and 2006.

The club hosted Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump's wedding in October 2009. It was also used in November 2016 to host meetings for the Donald Trump presidential transition. Representative Leonard Lance predicted that the resort could become "Camp David North".

The United States Golf Association announced that the golf club will host the U.S. Women's Open in 2017, scheduled for July 13–16. The Professional Golfers' Association of America awarded the course the 2022 PGA Championship.
