Edward Goddard (25 August 1900 – 29 March 1955) was an Australian rugby league player.
A ginger-haired, lightweight forward, Goddard was a permanent fixture in the Glebe first-grade side of the 1920s and played second-row for New South Wales in 1926. His wiry frame restricted his representative opportunities.[1][2]
Goddard was the uncle of St. George lock Bill Killiby.[3]
