Godefroid de Claire or Godefroid de Huy (born c. 1100; died c. 1173) was a goldsmith and enamelist.
His main working period was 1130–1199. During this time, he worked in the area of Stavelot and the Meuse valley, in what is now Belgium.
He might have learned the art from Rainer of Huy.[1]
His style was Mosan art, specialising in reliquary and iaphic art. His shrine of Pope Alexander I is preserved in the Royal Museums of Art and History.
It was suggested that he was the teacher of Nicholas of Verdun.
