William C. Goodridge (1806–1873) was a prominent multiracial businessman in York, Pennsylvania in the mid 1800s. He was an African-American abolitionist and a conductor on the Underground Railroad. Born a slave, Goodridge and his wife, Evalina Wallace Goodridge, started with a barbershop in 1827 and built a significant estate through diverse investments and enterprises, all of which they put at risk as stationmasters in the Underground Railroad.
