] in Polish) (ca. 1507-1542) was a notable member of the Lithuanian nobility and a high-ranking member of the Lithuanian administration. Born to Albrecht Goštautas, the Voivode of Vilnius and Princess Zofia Wierejska, he was the last direct male descendant of the - once mighty - Goštautai family.

A prominent member of the Grand Duchy's administration in the early times of the Polish-Lithuanian Union, Goštautas held a number of important posts in the state's administration. Among others, since 1522 he held the post of the voivode of Navahrudak, although he did not rise to that office until 1530. Since 1542 he was also a voivode of Trakai. As one of the most notable and influential noble of his epoch, in 1542 he was also awarded with a royal pension of "600 times the number of 60 Prague groschen" in exchange for his town of Upytė, which was bought by the Sigismund Augustus of Poland.

On May 17, 1537 he married Barbara Radziwiłł, later a wife of King of Poland Sigismund II Augustus. Goštautas died December 18, 1542, leaving his family fortune to his wife, who later passed it on to other branches of the Radziwiłł family.
