The 2008 Seniors Torneo Godó was the third edition of the Seniors Torneo Godó and it took place from April 24–28, 2008.
Tie-breaks were used for the first two sets of each match, which was the best of three sets. If the score was tied at one set all, a 'Champions Tie-break' (the first player to win at least 10 points or by a margin of two points) would be used.
Sergi Bruguera was the defending champion, but had to withdrew (due to an injury) before his 3rd match of the Round Robin.
Marcelo Ríos won the title by defeating Michael Stich 6–3, 6–3 in the final.
