Mátyás Godina (Slovene: Matjaž Godina, Prekmurje Slovene: Mátjaš Godina (c. 1768 – January 1, 1835) was a Slovene Lutheran pastor, writer, and teacher in Hungary.
Born in Lemerje, Godina's family was of minor nobility. He went to school in Surd in Somogy County, where he lived and worked with two Slovene writers: István Küzmics and Mihály Bakos. Godina graduated from the Lutheran Lyceum of Sopron and returned to his home region (Prekmurje) as a consecrated priest.
Between 1793 and 1799, Godina worked as a teacher, and after the death of the priest István Szmodis Godina became the pastor in 1821. From 1821 until his death, Godina was a priest and a teacher in Gornji Petrovci.
Godina wrote church hymns, sermons, and school curricula in the Prekmurje dialect.
