Robert William Goodlatte (; born September 22, 1952) is an American politician and attorney.
He served in the United States House of Representatives representing Virginia's 6th congressional district for 13 terms.
He was also the Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction over legislation affecting the federal courts, administrative agencies, and federal law enforcement entities.
A Republican, Goodlatte's district covered Roanoke and also included Lynchburg, Harrisonburg, and Staunton. In 2017, Goodlatte presided over a GOP effort, conducted in a secret session, to weaken the independent Office of Congressional Ethics, a move widely criticized by House leaders and the opposition party.
The proposal passed by a 119 to 74 vote, but it was withdrawn the following day after widespread public criticism.
On November 9, 2017, Goodlatte announced that he would not seek reelection in 2018.
