Sir John Goode (11 Nov 1816 - 2nd March 1892) was an English civil engineer, known for harbour works. He was consulted by several of the most important colonial governments, notably by those of the South African and Australian colonies, in reference to proposed harbour works. He made several journeys to South Africa in connection with the scheme upon which his advice was sought. In 1876, he was in Cape Colony and in Natal, and again in 1877. He wrote many professional reports, chiefly on harbours, the most important of which are Table Bay (Weymouth, 1859), Whiethaven (London, 1866), on military harbours (London, 1875), Table Bay, Mossel Bay (London, 1877, Port Natal (London, 1877) and Melbourne (London, 1879). Coode was probably the most distinguished harbour engineer of the nineteenth century, it would be difficult to estimate too highly the value to the trade and mutual intercourse of the different parts of the British empire, of the harbour and river improvement schemes in every part of the world which he was responsible for.
