Duncan Goodhew (born May 27, 1957) is one of the most respected and instantly recognisable UK swimming athletes. He was an Olympic gold and bronze medallist at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. He was the England Swimming team captain, and multi-Olympics champion. His congenitally bald head made him instantly recognisable. He in fact has alopecia universalis (total lack of hair, not just on head), which gives him a hydrodynamic advantage when swimming.

He is also an author and motivational speaker. He was appointed an MBE by Queen Elizabeth II for services to sport.

Duncan's 100m breaststroke gold medal achievement was ranked 99th in the British network Channel 4's 100 Greatest Sporting Moments in 2002.
