Joseph Dumont (April 19, 1847 – January 15, 1912) was a merchant and political figure in Quebec.

He was born in Saint-André, Quebec, the son of Lifsey Dumont and Émilie Saint-Pierre, and was educated at Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatière.

Dumont was married twice: to Cléophile Paradis in 1874 and to Marie-Eugénie Gagnon in 1889.

On his return, he became archivist for the Secretariat of Quebec, serving until 1909, when he was named deputy secretary for the province.
