Joseph A. Brandt (July 26, 1899 – November 1, 1985) was the sixth president of the University of Oklahoma.
He returned to Oklahoma to become the city editor of the Tulsa Tribune.
In 1928, he took a job as head of the University of Oklahoma Press where he remained until 1938 when he accepted a similar position at the Princeton University Press.
In 1941, after turning down three previous offers for better paying positions, he returned to Oklahoma as the president of the University, a position he held for only two years.
He left in 1943 after the Oklahoma state government cut the University's already low budget further.
