Burg Gödersheim stands in Nideggen (Kreis Düren), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Gödersheim is the ruin of a Late Gothic moated castle in the Neffelbach valley, a few kilometres from the village of Wollersheim, within the borough of Nideggen. What remains is a two storey stone dwelling house with quoined corners and mullioned windows, along with the remnants of the gatehouse with its stepped gables that once led into the outer bailey. The site now belongs to a private owner, a neighbour of the ruin, who intends to convert the surviving structures into housing.
