Godfrey Haga (born in Isingen,[a] Duchy of Württemberg, 30 November 1745; died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 5 February 1825) was a United States merchant, politician and philanthropist.
After emigrating to the United States, he settled in Philadelphia, where he became a merchant, and was connected with the principal charitable and mercantile institutions of the city.
Notably, he sold 5,500 acres of land to the Christian sect, The Separatist Society, led by John Baumeler, that had emigrated from Wurtemberg to Philadelphia.
The land, in northeastern Ohio, in present day Tuscarawas County, would later become the village of Zoar, a communistic society ( eine Guter Gemeinschaft / a community of goods).
