Bobbie "Bobbie Dazzler" Goulding (born 4 February 1972 in Widnes, Lancashire) is an English rugby league football coach and former player. A former Great Britain and England international representative scrum-half, Goulding played for a number of clubs including Wigan and St. Helens, both of whom he won Challenge Cup Finals with.

He also played for Leeds, Widnes, Huddersfield, Wakefield Trinity (Heritage № 1162), Salford, Leigh, Rochdale Hornets and Australian side Eastern Suburbs. As a player, he most famously captained St Helens in their double year of 1996.

Born in Widnes, Goulding's usual position was as at scrum-half. In December 1988, he made his senior début for Wigan at the age of 16, scoring a try in a 20–16 win against Halifax. In 1990, he became the youngest ever Great Britain Lions tourist at 18 years of age. In 1991, he moved to Australia to play for Eastern Suburbs, but returned to Wigan a few weeks later without making a first grade appearance. Unable to establish a regular place in the first team ahead of Andy Gregory and Shaun Edwards, he joined Leeds later that year for a fee of £100,000. He spent one season at Leeds before moving to his hometown club Widnes in 1992.
