Godetia may refer to one of several wildflowers native to the western United States:
- Clarkia amoena
- Clarkia bottae
Godetia (foaled 14 April 1976 – 1994) was an American-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare who won two Irish Classic Races in 1979. Bred in Virginia, she was sold as a yearling and sent to race in Europe. As a two-year-old she showed promise when finishing second on her debut before winning her next race by twelve lengths. In 1979 she was unbeaten in four races in Ireland, taking the Athasi Stakes, Irish 1000 Guineas, Pretty Polly Stakes and Irish Oaks, but ran poorly when sent to England for the Epsom Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks. She returned to race in the United States as a four-year-old but failed to make any impact in three races. As a broodmare she had some success but produced no major winners.
