Godsheide (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɣɔtsˌɦɛidə]) is a village and Catholic parish within the north-eastern corner of the Belgian city of Hasselt, in the province of Limburg.

The original meaning is thought to be shown more clearly by the spelling Goetschey, found on a map from 1549, and the dialect pronunciation of the name, which is Gooètskè: instead of God's heide (heath) the second component was related to modern Dutch scheiding (a separation or dividing).

The oldest roads were made in the 14th century, and were the Bos, Kiezel, and Wolskes streets in the south of the parish, and the Brugbemdenstraat which is now in the golf course.

The old main "steenweg" road between Hasselt and Genk, which passes through the northern "Vosseberg" part of the parish (separated from the church by the modern canal) exists since the 18th century.

Godsheide became a catholic parish in 1845 and in 1853 work began on the church which is dedicated to Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Bezoeking (Our beloved lady of visitation).

In Limburg there has been debate since the 1970s about building a main road running north–south from Eindhoven in the Netherlands to Huy in French-speaking Liège Province to the south, and to be known as the A24.
