Tony Godden (born August 2, 1955 in Gillingham, Kent) is a retired English football goalkeeper.

Godden began his career with local side Ashford Town, and then joined West Bromwich Albion in 1978.

He made 267 league appearances for the Midlands club, in addition to brief loan spells with Luton Town in 1982-83 and Walsall in 1983-84.

He joined Chelsea in 1986, initially on loan but eventually in a permanent deal. He remained with Chelsea for a year, the highlight of his time being saving two penalties in front of the Stretford End against Manchester United at Old Trafford to secure Chelsea a 1-0 win.

He signed Birmingham City for £35,000 in July 1987, and subsequently had spells with Bury (on loan) and Peterborough United, before dropping into non-league football. He is now a goalkeeping coach for Rushden & Diamonds
