Claire Godwin is a former American rugby union player. She was a member of the squad that won the inaugural 1991 Women's Rugby World Cup in Wales.
In the 1991 World Cup final, Godwin had conceded a penalty try to England which gave them an early lead. A brace of tries in the second half more than made up for her early offence and gave the United States the much-needed boost.
Godwin and the 1991 World Cup squad were inducted into the United States Rugby Hall of Fame in 2017.
