Годи́ва (англ. Godiva (/ɡəˈdaɪvə/), от латинизированного др.-англ. Godgyfu, Godgifu — «подаренная Богом»; около 990 — около 1067) — англосаксонская графиня, жена эрла (графа) Мерсии Леофрика (980—1057), которая, согласно легенде, проехала обнажённой по улицам города Ковентри в Англии ради того, чтобы её супруг снизил непомерные налоги для своих подданных.
