Acharya Godwin Samararatne (6 September 1932 ‒ 22 March 2000) was one of the best known lay meditation teachers in Sri Lanka in recent times. Godwin was an active collaborator with the reincarnation researcher Ian Stevenson, and worked with the latter whenever he visited Sri Lanka from the mid-1960s until his research ended in the country in 1988. During that time, he co-authored a number of articles with Stevenson on the subject of rebirth. He also held teaching tours in Switzerland, Germany, United Kingdom, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana; and later in the 1980s and 1990s, in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore as well.
