The Golden Master (1939) is an American pulp novel featuring The Shadow, written by Walter Gibson under the house name Maxwell Grant.

He orders him to create a larger production run of aircraft than originally intended, with the excess being sent on to Shiwan Khan.

Working with Brent, The Shadow eventually tracks his opponent to his base of operations and apparently kills him when his escape plane crashes into the river.

The Golden Master was part of the basis for the 1994 film The Shadow which featured Shiwan Khan as the villain (played by John Lone).
