Joseph Carrière, S.S. (19 February 1795, in Lapanouse-de-Cernon – 23 April 1864, in Lyon) was a French Sulpician moral theologian, and from 1850 the 13th Superior General of the Society of Saint-Sulpice.
Carrière entered the seminary of Saint-Sulpice in 1812, and five years later, at the age of twenty-two, became a member of the society and was ordained a priest.
In 1829 Carrière came to America in the capacity of official Visitor to the Sulpician houses, and was invited to take part in the First Provincial Council of Baltimore.
Conservative in temperament and by education, Carrière was one of the first to combat the ideas of Félicité de La Mennais.
Carrière's published writings are: He was inclined to the opinion, generally held in France in his day, that the State had the power to create diriment impediments to marriage among Catholics; but he abandoned it as soon as it was disapproved at Rome.
