Joe Jimenez (June 10, 1926 – August 11, 2007) was an American professional golfer, best known for winning the 1978 PGA Seniors' Championship.
At the 1991 GTE Northwest Classic, a Senior PGA Tour event, 65-year-old Jimenez became the youngest player to shoot his age or lower in a tournament on one of golf's major professional circuits by shooting a 63.
This record was later broken when 61-year-old Walter Morgan shot a 60 in the AT&T Canada Senior Open Championship.

Jiminez died at his home in San Antonio, Texas from renal failure brought on by lung cancer.
