Gold Was Our Grave is a 1954 mystery detective novel by the British writer Henry Wade. It was the seventh and last in a series of novels featuring the character of Inspector Poole, published during the Golden Age of Detective Fiction.

After Hector Berrenton narrowly survives a car accident, he returns home to find a threatening note. It seems likely that someone has tampered with his car, seeking revenge for his involvement in a Bolivian goldmining concern that left many investors ruined several years earlier.
