WThe California Golden Seals were a professional ice hockey club that competed in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1967 to 1976.

The Seals were one of six teams added to the league as part of the 1967 NHL expansion. Based in Oakland, California, they played their home games at the Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum Arena. The Seals were never successful at the gate, qualifying for the postseason in only two of their nine seasons and failing to obtain a winning record in each.

They are the only franchise from the 1967 expansion never to reach the Stanley Cup Finals.
