A '''Go game record''' is an archival record for a [[Go (game)|game of Go]].

In most of [[East Asia]], the record for a game of Go (or another [[abstract strategy game]]) is literally called "[[board game record]]" ({{lang|lzh|棋譜}} or a derivative). In [[Japanese language|Japanese]] it is called {{nihongo||棋譜|kifu}}, in [[Standard Chinese]] {{zh|p=qípǔ|label=no}} ({{zh|t=棋譜|s=棋谱}}), and in [[Korean language|Korean]] ''{{lang|ko-Latn|gibo}}'' ([[hangul]]: {{lang|ko|기보}}, [[hanja]]: {{lang|ko|棋譜}}).

Go records traditionally recorded games on a grid diagram representing the playing board, marking the plays on the stones by numbers. Stones placed before play begins are unnumbered.
