William Goodwin (died 1620) was an English Anglican clergyman and academic, Dean of Christ Church, Oxford from 1611.
1602, and on resigning his prebend in 1605 he was appointed chancellor of York, an office which he retained with many other Yorkshire benefices until 1611, when he was promoted to the deanery of Christ Church.
In 1616 he became Archdeacon of Middlesex and rector of Great Allhallows, London; from the latter, however, he withdrew in 1617 on being presented to the living of Chalgrove, Oxfordshire.
In 1616 he likewise received from the Lord-chancellor Thomas Egerton the living of Stanton St. John, Oxfordshire.
He is also mentioned as having delivered sermons in memory of Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales 1612; of Sir Thomas Bodley, 1613; and of Anne of Denmark, 1618, at the chapel of St. Mary's, Oxford.
