Joseph R. Turnesa (January 31, 1901 – July 15, 1991) was an American professional golfer.

He was one of seven famous golfing brothers: Phil (1896–1987), Frank (1898–1949), Joe (1901–1991), Mike (1907–2000), Doug (1909–1972), Jim (1912–1971), and Willie (1914–2001).

The family was referred to as a "golf dynasty" in a 2000 New York Times article.
