Brendon Goddard (born 20 May 1985) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for St Kilda from 2003 to 2012 and Essendon from 2013 to 2018 in the Australian Football League. Raised in Traralgon, Victoria, he attended Caulfield Grammar School and was taken by St Kilda with the first pick of the 2002 National Draft after Carlton lost the pick in a salary cap breach investigation. He was selected in the All-Australian team in 2009 and 2010, finished second in the Norm Smith Medal voting in the drawn 2010 Grand Final, and in 2012 became the first big name to use the AFL's new free agency period by signing with Essendon. He won Essendon's best and fairest in 2013, captained the club in 2016 and since 2026 has been head coach of St Kilda's reserves team in the VFL.
