Józef Achilles Puchała (18 March 1911, Kosina – 19 July 1943, Borowikowszczyzna) was a Polish Franciscan friar from the Iwieniec (Ivyanets) monastery, tortured and killed by the Nazis during World War II and beatified by Pope John Paul II on 13 June 1999.

He was born on 18 March 1911 to Franciszka and Zofii née Olbrycht and was baptized the same day.

At the start of World War II he was moved to a nearby village as a provost of parish of St. Mary Magdalene.

After the anti-Nazi uprising in Iwieniec, in June 1943 the local population was arrested by the Germans.

One of the many victims of Nazi terror were the Franciscan brothers Joseph Achilles Puchała and Charles Herman Stępień, who were tortured to death.
