Eddie Goodger (born 10 March 1929) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

Goodger came to Fitzroy from Heidelberg, where he had won a Best and Fairest in 1948.

A defender, he spent much of his time at Fitzroy as a centre half-back, but also played in the ruck.

Goodger was second to Neville Broderick in Fitzroy's 1952 "Best and Fairest" award, missing out by a single vote.[2]

He left Fitzroy at the end of the 1958 VFL season, to join Ivanhoe Amateurs as a playing coach.[3]
