Joseph Eve (July 17, 1784 – June 16, 1843) was an American politician and diplomat.

As a young man he moved to Knox County, Kentucky.

On April 15, 1841, Eve was appointed to post of Chargé d'affaires for the United States mission to the Republic of Texas.

Eve moved his legation to Galveston, Texas, hoping to benefit from the climate, as his tuberculosis was getting worse.

The same day, Eve died of tuberculosis,[1] after which his widow relocated to their residence in Kentucky.
