Godfrey Ridout (6 May 1918 in Toronto – 24 November 1984 in Toronto) was a Canadian composer, conductor, music educator, and writer.
 He contributed articles to numerous Canadian music publications, notably serving as the assistant editor of both "Canadian Music" (1940–1941) and "Canadian Review of Music and Art" (1942–1943).
 From 1973–1984 he was the author of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra's program notes.
 As a conductor he served as the music director of the Eaton Operatic Society from 1949–1958.
 He was also highly involved with the Toronto Gilbert & Sullivan Society of which he was made an honorary vice-president.
 As a composer, Ridout is chiefly remembered for his symphonic and choral works.
 The Canadian Encyclopedia describes him thus: "Essentially an eclectic, Ridout yet did not lack for individuality.
 His music, though intensely felt, is prevailingly sunny and affirmative; it eschews the 'doom and gloom' manner and self-conscious profundity of much 20th-century concert fare.
 Ridout liked fun in music and could not easily resist concluding a work with a 'good tune'.
 He saw no need to strive for ever-new styles, or for a progress through styles, or for the role of musical inventor; style for him was a means of communication, not the 'message' itself.
 In this aloofness from contemporary conformity, Ridout may be perceived to be more original than many innovators and one of the determined communicators of his day." Diana McIntosh
