Harry Post Godwin (February 10, 1857 – March 30, 1900) was an American newspaper editor.
[clarification needed] After resigning from The Washington Star in 1897, Godwin went to New York to take a high-ranking position in the Columbia Phonograph Company.
In the summer of 1898, Godwin fell onto the gunwale of a boat, severely injuring his lungs.
He seemed to have died peacefully, as he was doing well and had just eaten breakfast and heard the days news when the nurse left.
He died in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and his remains were brought to Washington, D.C. His funeral was held at the St. Mark's Episcopal Church, and he was buried at Rock Creek Cemetery.
