Joseph Thyssen, also Josef Thyssen (14 February 1844 – 15 July 1915), was a German industrialist and a member of the Thyssen family. He was the son of Friedrich Thyssen and the younger brother of August Thyssen, and was also his closest colleague and confidant.

Since 1984, his former residence Villa Josef Thyssen in Mülheim an der Ruhr has been listed as a protected monument. The villa was also featured in the film Mutters Maske (1987) directed by Christoph Schlingensief.
