Godemir or Godimir (fl. 970 – 1000/1030) was Ban of Croatia during 10th century Croatia. He is said to have served the king Stephen Držislav in a charter from 1068.Comperimus namque in gestis proaui nosti Cresimiri maioris... Stipišić, J. i M. Šamšalović, ur. Codex Diplomaticus Regni Croatiae, Dalmatiae et Slavoniae, sv. 1. Zagreb: Izdavački zavod JAZU, 1967., pp. 105. According to the much debated Chronicle of Archdeacon Goricensis John, he was established to his position by a certain King Krešimir (though it is unclear whether the chronicler mixes two different rulers)."Prilog kritici odlomka 'kronologije', djela pripisivanog Arhiđakonu Goričkom Ivanu", Mladen Švab, Historijski zbornik, god. XXXV, Zagreb, 1982, pp. 141 He is also referred to in a charter as potens banus, meaning "powerful ban".
Additionally, he is mentioned in another charter, dated 1028, which is a grant to the monastery of St. Krševan by his sister Helenica.
