'''Francis Godolphin''' (died 1652), of Treveneage in [[Cornwall]], was an English [[Member of Parliament]]. The son of [[William Godolphin (1547-1589)|Sir William Godolphin of Treveneage]], he represented [[St Ives (UK Parliament constituency)|St Ives]] in the Parliament of 1628–9 and again in the [[Long Parliament]]. Unlike his relatives in the senior branch of the Godolphin family, he supported the [[Roundheads|Parliamentary]] cause on the outbreak of the [[English Civil War|Civil War]], and continued to sit through most of the 1640s; however, there is no record of his having taken any part in proceedings after [[Pride's Purge]]. (He should not be confused with his namesake and cousin once removed, [[Francis Godolphin (1605-1667)|Francis Godolphin of Godolphin]], who was also a member of the Long Parliament but was ejected as a Royalist in 1644.)
Godolphin married Ann Carew in 1616, and they had three children:
* Francis Godolphin of Crowan
* Catherine Godolphin, who married [[John St Aubyn (Parliamentarian)|John St Aubyn]] of Clowance
* Loveday Godolphin
He died in 1652, and was buried on 4 February 1652 at [[Crowan]].
