Shankarrao Ramachandra Godambe (1 March 1899 – 6 December 1969) was an Indian cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1920 to 1941.

Godambe was a medium-pace seam bowler and useful late-order batsman who had a long career for the Hindus in the Bombay Quadrangular. After doing well in the trial matches in 1931-32 he was selected to tour England with India's first Test touring team in 1932.[1] However, he was unable to make the most of his infrequent opportunities on tour and did not play in the Test match.[1]

He scored 62 (his highest score) and 51 not out when the Hindus beat the Europeans in the final of the 1925-26 Bombay Quadrangular.[2] His best bowling figures were 6 for 32, after taking 4 for 42 in the first innings, to help the Hindus to victory over the Parsees in the 1929–30 final.[3]
