Josiah Howell Bagster (19 February 1847 – 17 October 1893) was a businessman and politician in the British colony of South Australia.

During the 1870s Bagster established himself as in business as a land and estate agent and for several years served on the municipal council at Unley township, just south of Adelaide. In September 1881 he was elected as one of two members for the electorate of Yatala in the South Australian House of Assembly. After a controversial vote against the Playford ministry in June 1889, Bagster was defeated in the polls at the April 1890 general election.
