Ken Goodman was an American backgammon player who won the official World Championship of Backgammon held in the Bahamas in 1977, beating Jim Crosby of the United States in the final by 25 points to 24. Jason Lester of the United States and Alan Lorenz of Great Britain were the semifinalists. That year the Monte Carlo casino staged a separate European Championship, and the two events were merged into one World Championship at Monte Carlo in 1979. Goodman was the winner between Baron Vernon Ball in 1976 and Paul Magriel in 1978.
