Godfrey Leonard Norrman (1846 – November 16, 1909) was an important architect in the Southeastern United States.
A native of Sweden, he arrived in Atlanta, Georgia around 1880 and designed buildings for the International Cotton Exposition (1881). He also designed the Armstrong Hotel of Rome, the Windsor Hotell of Americus, the Gate City Bank and Hebrew Orphan Asylum, Edward Peters Atlanta mansion (1883), Anderson Hall at Savannah College of Art and Design (1896) and the Piedmont Exposition Building of Atlanta, and also homes in Inman Park Atlanta. His firm was called "Norrman and Humphreys" with George Phares Humphreys who designed Joel Chandler Harris's home, Wren's Nest. He maintained offices in Joel Hurt's Equitable Building, resided in the Kimball House and remained in the city until his death. He also designed the Bishop William Wallace Duncan House at Spartanburg, South Carolina.
