Joseph Lewis Campinha (May 11, 1920 – May 21, 2001), also known as Joe Campini, was a Cape Verdean-American Negro league catcher in the 1940s.

He is believed to be the first professional baseball player of Cape Verdean descent.

A native of East Wareham, Massachusetts of Cape Verdean descent, Campinha played under the name "Campini" for the Baltimore Elite Giants in 1948.

A backup for the team's regular catcher Frazier Robinson, Campinha managed a hit and a walk in two plate appearances in his one recorded game for Baltimore,[1] which may have come in April at Bugle Field against the Homestead Grays.

[3] Campinha went on to serve in the United States Merchant Marine, and died in Providence, Rhode Island in 2001 at age 81.
