The multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock model has been employed to calculate the expectation values for the hyperfine splittings of the 5d{sup 9}6s{sup 2} {sup 2}D{sub 3/2} and 5d{sup 9}6s{sup 2} {sup 2}D{sub 5/2} levels of atomic gold. One-, two-, and three-body electron correlation effects involving all 79 electrons have been included in a systematic manner. The approximation employed in this study is equivalent to a complete-active-space approach. Calculated electric field gradients, together with experimental values of the electric quadrupole hyperfine-structure constants, allow us to extract a nuclear electric quadrupole moment Q({sup 197}Au)=521.5(5.0) mb.
