Debra Susan "Debbie" Goad (February 13, 1954 – July 20, 2000) was an American journalist and assistant editor of the magazine Answer Me! Her husband, Jim Goad, was the magazine's primary writer and editor. She also contributed to the zine Temp Slave!
Goad grew up in a Jewish family in the Sea Gate neighborhood of Coney Island in Brooklyn, meeting Jim Goad while he was living in New Jersey. In 1995, Goad and her husband Jim were charged with one felony count of promoting pornography because of offensive content in Answer Me! magazine, they faced a maximum sentence of five years in jail and a $10,000 fine. They were found not guilty.
Jim and Debbie Goad divorced in 1997, around the same time she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She died in July 2000, aged 46, from ovarian cancer in Multnomah County, Oregon. Her mother had reportedly also died from the same disease and Goad reportedly wished to be cremated, but her brother, Dr. Mitchell Rosalie, a physician from New York City, was reportedly unable to locate her will and she was interred next to their mother's grave.
