Joseph Francis Carlino (June 23, 1917 – August 13, 2006) was an American lawyer and politician.
He held this post until 1964 when, as the sitting Speaker, he lost his seat at the 1964 Democratic landslide election after the death of John F. Kennedy.
After leaving the Assembly, he resigned as Nassau County's Republican Party chairman and started a second career as one of Albany's best-paid lobbyists.
In 1969, Governor Nelson Rockefeller sent him to Panama to advise General Omar Torrijos, who had taken power in a coup, on the wisdom of forming a more representative government.
Carlino's first wife, Joanne F. Hefferon, whom he had met in high school, died in 1988.
