Joseph Charbonneau (July 31, 1892 – November 19, 1959) was a Canadian prelate of the Roman Catholic Church, who served as Archbishop of Montreal from 1940 to 1950.

On June 22, 1939, Charbonneau was appointed Bishop of Hearst by Pope Pius XI.

He succeeded the late Georges Gauthier as Archbishop of Montreal on August 31, 1940.

[1] Upon his resignation on February 9, 1950, Charbonneau was made titular Archbishop of Bosphorus and accepted work in British Columbia as a hospital chaplain.

For his interest in interdenominational dialogue, the rights of organised labour, and the well-being of minority groups, Archbishop Charbonneau has been seen as a precursor to the Quiet Revolution.
