Billy Ashley Godleman (born 11 February 1989 in Camden) is an English cricketer who plays for Derbyshire and captains the county in first-class cricket. He is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm leg-spin bowler. He played for Middlesex and Essex before joining Derbyshire in 2013. Godleman has previously represented the England under-19 team.
Godleman was raised in Islington. His father is a London cab driver. During 2004, Godleman was named Bunbury Under-15 player of the year. David English rated him as the best English Under-15 batsman for at least 10 years, and said that he would put money on Godleman playing Test cricket for the England cricket team. Godleman went on to play in England's Under-16 tour to South Africa.
Godleman played for the Middlesex second XI in 2003 (aged 14) and 2004. He made his first-class debut for Middlesex on 1 June 2005, playing against Cambridge UCCE at Fenner's. Also making his first-class debut in the match was Steven Finn (born 4 April 1989). Finn and Godleman became the two youngest first-class debutants for the county, beating the record set by 16-year-old Fred Titmus in June 1949. Godleman did not bat in the first innings, but opened the batting in the second innings, scored an unbeaten 69. He continued to play for the Middlesex second XI in 2005 and 2006, and also played for Middlesex in four Twenty20 matches in 2006.
