Abstract: Let $G$ be a $p$-group and let $chi$ be an irreducible character of $G$. The codegree of $chi$ is given by $|G:extker(chi)|/chi(1)$. Du and Lewis have shown that a $p$-group with exactly three codegrees has nilpotence class at most 2. Here we investigate $p$-groups with exactly four codegrees. If, in addition to having exactly four codegrees, $G$ has two irreducible character degrees, $G$ has largest irreducible character degree $p^2$, $|G:G^{\prime }|=p^2$, or $G$ has coclass at most 3, then $G$ has nilpotence class at most 4. In the case of coclass at most 3, the order of $G$ is bounded by $p^7$. With an additional hypothesis we can extend this result to $p$-groups with four codegrees and coclass at most 7. In this case the order of $G$ is bounded by $p^{11}$.
