Nagesh Ramarao Godam (born 21 October 1964), is an Indian politician. He hails from the Gond people.

He retained the Boath seat in the 1999 election, obtaining 49,155 votes (56.17%). He lost the Boath seat in the 2004 election, finishing in second place with 41,567 votes. Reportedly his father opposed his candidature in the 2004 election.

Ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha election, he left the TDP and joined the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) instead. He was admitted to the TRS by the party chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao on 3 March 2014. After joining TRS he was listed as the candidate of the party in the Boath Legislative Assembly seat. However, G. Nagesh asked to get the nomination for the Adilabad Lok Sabha seat instead. On 8 April 2014, he was declared as the TRS candidate for the Adilabad Lok Sabha seat. In 2019, Nagesh lost the election to Soyam Bapu Rao.

Godam Nagesh joined the Bharatiya Janata Party on 10 March 2024 in the presence of party's General Secretary and Telangana state incharge Tarun Chugh in New Delhi ahead of 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
