Joel Kauffman (born December 9, 1985) is an American stock car racing driver.
When he was twelve, he became the youngest driver in the National Modified Midget Association to have finished in the top-three in the points standings.
In 2003, Kauffman ran the United Speed Alliance Racing Series, and won Rookie of the Year that season.
He was slated to drive for FitzBradshaw Racing full-time in the Busch Series, along with teammate, Tracy Hines, both competing for Rookie of the Year.
However, about halfway through the season, Kauffman was released due to a lack of performance and did not compete in NASCAR again after that.
