Barry Goodingham (born 9 May 1945) was a regular first ruckman for the North Melbourne Football Club and South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Nicknamed 'Lurch',[1] due to his resemblance to the butler in the television sitcom The Addams Family, he captained North Melbourne in 1971.[2]

Recruited from Edithvale-Aspendale, he was selected in North Melbourne's first Premiership team in 1975, but appeared only briefly to replace Mick Nolan late in the last quarter.[1] He enjoys a life membership of the North Melbourne Football Club.[3]

Goodingham finished his VFL career with a two year stint at South Melbourne, traded in a deal that sent Peter Keenan to North Melbourne.[4] He then went to South Australia and played for three years for Woodville, the last two as playing coach.
