Goddas or Godas was a Gothic nobleman of the Vandal kingdom in Africa. He was sent by Gelimer to collect an outstanding tax from the people of Sardinia.

In 533, he began communicating with Justinian I, Byzantine emperor, as an independent sovereign, clearly with the intent of creating his won principality out of the island of Sardinia. Gelimer sent a large army comprised of most of the available army in Africa and sent it to Sardinian under his brother Tzazo.[1] Goddas' rebellion was soon put down.
