Kendra Goodwin (born October 27, 1982 in Java, Indonesia) is an American ice dancer. Goodwin was adopted from Indonesia as an infant.[1] She was raised in New Jersey, and currently lives in Randolph.[2] She has competed with Paul Goldner, Chris Obzansky, and Brent Bommentre.

Goodwin competed with Obzansky on the junior level, winning the 2000 Junior Grand Prix event in China. They were the 2001 U.S. junior national silver medalists and placed 15th at the 2001 World Junior Figure Skating Championships. The partnership broke up due to Obzansky's choice to serve as a Mormon missionary.

With Bommentre, she is the 2004 U.S. national pewter medalist. They competed at the 2004 Skate America and the 2004 Cup of Russia. Their partnership broke up following the 2004/2005 season[3] and Goodwin announced on June 2, 2005 that she was reforming her partnership with Obzansky to compete in the 2005/2006 season[4]
