Louis Bertrand Goodall (September 23, 1851 in Winchester, New Hampshire – June 26, 1935 in Sanford, Maine) was a United States Representative from Maine. He moved to Troy, New Hampshire with his parents in 1852. He attended the common schools of Troy, then attended a private school in Thompson, Connecticut, the Vermont Episcopal Institute, a private school in England, and the Kimball Union Academy.
He entered his father's mills at Sanford, Maine in 1874 and afterward engaged extensively in the wool-manufacturing industry and in the railroad business. He established the Goodall Worsted Co., which originated Palm Beach cloth. He became president of the Sanford National Bank from its organization in 1896, and became chairman of the Maine commission to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis, Mo., in 1904.
