Philip Henry Godsell (July 1, 1889 – October 8, 1961) was a Canadian writer and northern explorer.
He worked for the HBC until 1929 in locations such as the Keewatin, Lake Superior, Mackenzie River and Western Arctic districts.
Much of his time was spent as a post inspector which meant that he travelled widely through northern Canada inspecting and auditing HBC trading outposts.
Throughout his life, he produced numerous books, short stories, radio broadcasts and articles that focused on his experiences as a fur trader, Arctic traveler, and pioneer and his encounters with the Inuit, First Nations Peoples, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), and other northern pioneers.
His outdoor, adventure and detective short stories were published in a wide variety of journals and newspapers.
