Joseph Angus (January 1816 – August 1902) was an English Baptist minister, college head, and biblical scholar.

The only son of John Angus, a farmer and later a leather merchant, by his wife Elizabeth Wanless, he was born at Bolam, Northumberland.

As a nonconformist and a member of the Baptist church under Thomas Pengilly at Newcastle, he preferred the University of Edinburgh, where he entered in 1834, after passing a year at King's College, London.

In 1840, he was appointed colleague to John Dyer in the secretaryship of the Baptist Missionary Society, and became sole secretary in 1841; there he was a fundraiser, in particular for the mission house in Moorgate Street.

Now housed at Regent's Park College, it is the leading collection of Baptist history and heritage worldwide.
