Godič (pronounced [ɡɔˈditʃ]; German: Goditsch) is a village on the left bank of the Kamnik Bistrica River in the Municipality of Kamnik in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
Godič was first attested in written sources in 1426 as Goditsch (and as Godicz in 1447). The name is derived from the plural form *Godiči, from the patronymic Godič based on a name such as *Godislavъ, *Godimirъ, etc. The name thus means 'place where Godič and his people live.' In the past the German name was Goditsch.
In 1993 the Archaeological Section of the National Museum of Slovenia excavated a Roman cave shrine in a local rock shelter known as Pod Gričo. A number of votive offerings, coins, potshards, and animal bones were found at the site.
