Fury 325 is a steel roller coaster located at Carowinds amusement park in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. The Giga Coaster manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard opened to the public on March 28, 2015, featuring 6,602 feet (2,012 m) of track and a maximum height of 325 feet (99 m), making it the fifth-tallest roller coaster in the world and the tallest overall that uses a traditional lift hill. Fury 325 also opened as the world's tallest giga coaster – a classification defined as any coaster with a height or drop between 300 and 400 feet (91 and 122 m).

The ride reaches a top speed of 95 mph (153 km/h), winding through high-speed curves and passing over and under the park's main entrance. Fury 325 was the Best New Ride of 2015 in the annual Golden Ticket Awards published by Amusement Today, and since 2016, it has consistently ranked as the world's best steel coaster in the same annual publication.
