Sylvie Goddyn (born 24 June 1964) is a French politician who was a National Front Member of the European Parliament representing North-West France.

Life Goddyn joined the right-wing extremist Front National (FN) in 1989. From 2001 to 2008 she was a councilor in the northern French city of Roubaix.
