Brad Godden (born 13 July 1969 in Newcastle, New South Wales) is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1990s. He played for the Newcastle Knights, Hunter Mariners and the Leeds Rhinos as a Fullback, Centre and on the Wing.
Godden started his first grade career with the Newcastle Knights, playing from the bench in a 30-0 loss to the Parramatta Eels at Parramatta Stadium in Round 14 of the 1991 NSWRL season. He played just four games for the Knights in 1991, scoring his first try from fullback in Round 19 at Marathon Stadium in a 32-16 win over the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Brad Godden's form at fullback for the Knights was one of the reason's Newcastle qualified for their first finals series in 1992. Representative players Mark Sargent, Paul Harragon, Michael Hagan and Robbie McCormack led the Knights to a 4th-placed finish in the regular season. They then accounted for Western Suburbs 21-2 in the Minor Preliminary Semi-final, with Godden scoring just his third try for the season, before going down to eventual Grand Finalist St. George 2-3 in a rare low scoring encounter in the Minor Semi-final.
