Ken Goodwin (born 7 April 1933 in Manchester) is an English comedian best known for his performances on the ITV Television show "The Comedians".

His performance style is nervous and stuttering. He laughs at his own jokes and reacts to laughter from the audience with the catchphrase " Settle down now, settle down".

Goodwin started performing in working men's clubs, telling jokes and playing the ukelele. He then performed on the Royal Variety Show in 1971 and in a summer season at the London Palladium, before his television break on "Opportunity Knocks" followed by "The Comedians".
