Goldregen (Laburnum), auch Bohnenbaum, Goldrausch oder Gelbstrauch genannt, ist eine Pflanzengattung aus der Unterfamilie der Schmetterlingsblütler (Faboideae) in der Familie der Hülsenfrüchtler (Fabaceae). Der Indische Goldregen dagegen gehört zur Gattung der Kassien (Cassia). Der Gemeine Goldregen (Laburnum anagyroides), auch Gewöhnlicher Goldregen genannt, ist aufgrund seiner gelben Blütenpracht ein beliebter Zierstrauch. Er wurde 2012 zur Giftpflanze des Jahres gewählt. Für Kinder kann bereits eine recht kleine Dosis der schotenförmigen Samenstände tödlich sein.

Laburnum, sometimes called golden chain or golden rain, is a genus of two species of small trees in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae. The species are Laburnum anagyroides—common laburnum and Laburnum alpinum—alpine laburnum. They are native to the mountains of southern Europe from France to the Balkans.

Some botanists include a third species, Laburnum caramanicum, but this native of southeast Europe and Anatolia is usually treated in a distinct genus Podocytisus, more closely allied to the Genisteae (brooms).
