The Joseph Campbell Foundation (JCF) is a US not-for-profit organization dedicated to the work of influential American mythologist Joseph Campbell (1904–1987). JCF fosters academic and popular discussion in the fields of comparative mythology and religion, psychology and culture through its publishing program, events, social media outreach, and website.

The foundation was created in 1990 by Campbell's widow, choreographer Jean Erdman, and by his longtime editor Robert Walter.

JCF’s initiatives include:

  • Campbell's personal library and papers housed at the OPUS Archives and Research Center (see below) and the New York Public Library (see below)
  • the Erdman Campbell Award
