Godinje (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Годиње) is a village in the municipality of Bar, Montenegro. It is located on a hill overlooking Lake Skadar.
The village is the ancestral home of the Lekovići and Nikač brotherhoods. In 1977, residents of Godinje would say in a joking manner that: "In Godinje, everyone's surname is Leković".[1] A reminder of a time when family clans lived in mountainous isolation in Montenegro.
