The Degoodi or Degodia (Somali: Degoodi or Degoodiya, Arabic: دغودي) is a Somali clan.
They are genealogically related to the other Samaale, but in particular to the Garjante, Gaalje'el, Garre, Masare, Isa (Saransor) and 'Awrmale, with which they share the same ancestor Gardhere Samaale.
[1][2][3] When Arthur Donaldson Smith traveled through what is now Bare woreda in 1895, he found that the Degodia were neighbors of the Majertein Afgab clan (whom they were at endless war with), their territory stretching east to the Weyib and Dawa Rivers.
