Godless was a science fiction fanzine by Bruce D. Arthurs.

Godless was published in Fort Lee, Virginia, U.S.A. in the 1970s. Issue 3 was released in Spring 1973, and the last issue, 14, in September 1976.

Contributors of writing included Rich Bartucci, with "The Frog in God' s Throat"; Sheryl Birkhead (The National Fantasy Fan); Donn Brazier (Title), with “Stop Shaking the Boat—You’re Making a New Wave"; D. Gary Grady, with "Fighting Words on Astronomy,"; Lord Jim Kennedy; Doug Leingang; Dave Locke (Pelf, Awry); and Michael T. Shoemaker (Oxytocic), among others.

Letters came from Roger Elwood, and Paul Walker, among others.

In an issue from 1973, Arthurs interviewed Roger Elwood, editor of a number science fiction anthologies during the 1970s. The article, "Roger Elwood: A Personal Reaction", which appeared in Godless, was later reprinted in Dick Geis' Science Fiction Review.

Darroll Pardoe, in Checkpoint 47 from April 1974, says of issue 6; "Reasonable material, a mixture of sercon and fannish, and an interesting letter... " and Checkoint 51, from August 1974, says of issue 7; "Nice furry animal article by Dave Locke. Imagine leaving a guard-spider in your house! Incidentally, Bruce, Godless arrived on July 25th."

Bruce D. Arthurs also published the fan anthology Fanthology 75.
