Joseph Carroll McCormick (December 15, 1907 – November 2, 1996) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania (1947–1960), as bishop of the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown in Pennsylvania (1960–1966) and bishop of the Diocese of Scranton in Pennsylvania (1966–1983).
In a 2018 Pennsylvania grand jury report, McCormick was criticized for his mishandling of sexual abuse allegations against priests when he was bishop of Scranton.
