Goddards is a Grade II*-listed house in Abinger Common, Surrey, England. It was designed by Edwin Lutyens in 1898–1900 in the ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement. It was built "as a home of rest to which ladies of small means might repair for holiday" for shipping magnate Frederick Mirrielees. The west-facing courtyard garden was designed by Gertrude Jekyll. In 1910, Lutyens extended the building and adapted it as a private residence.
Goddards was given to the Lutyens Trust in 1991 and has been leased to the Landmark Trust since 1996. A restoration project took place in the 1990s and the building is open to visitors by prior arrangement. Goddards is the headquarters of the Lutyens Trust.
