Abstract Outstanding magneto-caloric properties of a Gd$_{60}$Ni$_{37}$Co$_{3}$ amorphous alloy are reported. The magnetic entropy change peak ($-\Delta S_{\rm m}^{\rm peak}$) near the Curie temperature ($T_{\rm c}=135$ K) of the amorphous alloy under 5 T is about 10.42 J$\cdot$kg$^{-1}$K$^{-1}$ and the refrigeration capacity (RC) under 5 T is about 860 J$\cdot$kg$^{-1}$, both of which are almost the highest among the amorphous alloys with $T_{\rm c}$ above 100 K. The magneto-caloric behaviors and the mechanism for the rather high magneto-caloric effect of the Gd$_{60}$Ni$_{37}$Co$_{3}$ metallic glass are investigated.
