Goldwine (Third Age 2619 – 2699, aged 80 years) was the sixth King of Rohan.
Goldwine became King at the death of his father Fréawine in Third Age 2680, when he was 61 years old. He was born during the rule of his great-grandfather Aldor the Old, and was aged 26, already a father, when Aldor finally died and the crown passed to his grandfather.
Goldwine ruled during the "Golden Age" of Rohan and was very wealthy. During his rule the guard of Rohan's borders lessened, and the Dunlendings which Aldor had driven out began to slowly return to northern Rohan.
Goldwine died in 2699 after a rule of nineteen years. He was followed by his son Déor.
