Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use New Zealand English Шаблон:Infobox cricketer Frederick Robert Goodall Шаблон:Post-nominals (9 January 1938 – 18 October 2021) was a New Zealand international cricket umpire who officiated in 24 Tests and 15 One-Day Internationals between 1965 and 1988.

Goodall was the son of Fred and Betty Goodall from Greymouth. He made his first-class umpiring debut in December 1963, and went on to umpire 102 first-class matches before retiring in 1989. His first match as a One-Day International umpire was at Christchurch in February 1973, the first one-day international played in New Zealand. He had made his Test umpiring debut eight years earlier, also at Christchurch.

During the Second Test between New Zealand and West Indies at Christchurch's Lancaster Park in February 1980, the West Indies considered his umpiring so poor that they refused to emerge from their dressing room after the tea break on the third day unless Goodall was immediately replaced. After 11 minutes, they were persuaded to resume. Colin Croft collided with Goodall at the end of his bowling run-up during the fourth day's play. West Indies captain Clive Lloyd later said of the incident, "They were just bad umpires but we should not have behaved in that manner. I think if I'd had my time over again I'd have handled it differently. I regret it even until this day, that things went so far."

Goodall continued officiating in Tests and one-day matches after the infamous Christchurch incident. His last international match was a One-Day International at Napier in March 1988.

In the 1999 New Year Honours, Goodall was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to sport.

Goodall died in Wellington on 18 October 2021, aged 83.
