Godwin Grech is a former Australian Treasury official, best known for his role in the Utegate controversy in 2009.

Grech grew up in Melbourne as the son of Maltese immigrants. After graduating from the University of Melbourne with a Commerce degree, Grech moved to Canberra to join the Australian Public Service.

His public service career was split between the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and the Treasury. For the most part, Grech was close to the policy action of the Howard and Rudd Governments, and had a reputation as being highly diligent and reliable. In the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet he handled a Western Bulldogs grant in 2004. In the Department of the Treasury, he was in the middle of the 2009 Utegate affair, in which he forged an email to imply special treatment of Labor political donors. The Utegate affair forced his retirement from the public service in 2009.
