Gold Windows XP 2016 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created as part of the Gold Windows XP series by Muhammed Sadeem of Computer Worm Corporation. It released on August 29, 2015, and was added to the archive on August 6, 2022.

It is one of the most famous Windows XP bootlegs, and was featured on many YouTube channels and other places, and is widely known around the world.
