Andrew David Goodman (born 28 October 1982) is a New Zealand rugby union player, who played for and captained the Tasman Makos in the National Provincial Championship. In July 2012, Goodman signed a one-year deal with Leinster.[2]

Goodman was educated at Nelson College from 1996 to 2000. In 1999 and 2000, he was a member of both the school's 1st XV rugby team and 1st XI cricket team.[3] He then studied physical education and teaching at the University of Otago for five years, before returning to Nelson College as a physical education teacher.[4] In late 2014 he again returned to Nelson after two seasons at Leinster, and accepted a position as head of the rugby academy at Nelson College for 2015.[5]
