Gotshelm (floruit 1086) was an Anglo-Norman magnate and one of the 52 Devon Domesday Book tenants-in-chief of King William the Conqueror and was also a Cornwall Domesday Book tenant-in-chief. He is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as holding 28 estates or manors in Devon from the king. His brother was Walter de Claville (floruit 1086), also a Devon Domesday Book tenant-in-chief, who held 32 estates or manors in Devon from the king.

The Devonshire estates of both brothers later formed part of the feudal barony of Gloucester.
