Paul Goddard (b. 12 October, 1959 in Harlington, Middlesex) is a former professional footballer and football manager.

During his playing career, he gained caps for England U21s (scoring five times) and earned a single cap for the full England team against Iceland in June 1982 (scoring once). In his fifteen year career as a centre forward, he played for Queens Park Rangers, West Ham United, Newcastle United, Derby County, Millwall and Ipswich Town, where he retired and managed the club temporarily between the departure of John Lyall and the arrival of George Burley.

A QPR youth, Goddard was West Ham's record signing when he moved to Upton Park for £800,000 in 1980. He was West Ham's top scorer in the 1982-83 season, and scored 71 goals in 213 League and Cup matches for the club.

He then moved to Newcastle in October 1986, where he played alongside future West Ham manager Glenn Roeder, with whom he later worked as assistant manager at the East London club. He left that post on 20 January 2004, shortly after the arrival of new manager Alan Pardew.
