David A. Goodman (born 29 January 1975; age 49) was a writer for Star Trek: Enterprise, who also served as consulting producer during the series' second season.

In the commentary for the episode "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" of the animated Futurama - the series Goodman worked on as writer/co-producer, directly before his tenure on Enterprise and which episode was written by him, parodies Star Trek: The Original Series and featured its cast - Goodman noted that his work on that episode "got [him] a job on Star Trek". An avid fan of the Original Series, Goodman made sure that all references in that episode were the correct ones. As fan, Goodman was featured in the documentaries Trekkies 2 (2004) and Trek Nation (2010).

After departing Enterprise, Goodman was hired as Executive Producer and showrunner on the animated series Family Guy, following its revival by Fox. His work on both Futurama and Family Guy, has earned Goodman, between 2003 and 2013, six Emmy Award nominations, complemented by BAFTA Award, Nebula Award (for "Where No Fan Has Gone Before"), and Writers Guild of America Award nominations, one each, though he did not win any if them.

Prior to his involvement to these productions, Goodman, a 1984 BA graduate of the University of Chicago, started working in the motion picture industry in 1989 on the sitcom Golden Girls and has subsequently worked in the roles of (co-)producer, writer, script editor, consultant and voice actor on television productions like Babes, Flesh 'n' Blood, Rhythm & Blues, Stark Raving Mad and various others. In 2011 he left Family Guy to work on Allen Gregory and Murder Police.

Goodman wrote the text for the 2012 reference book, Star Trek: Federation - The First 150 Years, detailing the history of the Federation's formation.
