Josephine Dibble Murphy (July 31, 1888 - October 1974) was an American educator, community leader, and activist.

Josephine believed, "If there is to be any future to peace in the world all races must learn to live together with mutual respect each for the other".

She was described as being one with a "calm and warm attitude" by Emily Calhoun of the Atlanta Friends Meeting Quaker organization.

The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom originated in 1915 in the midst of the first World War, with Jane Addams as its first president.

Throughout its history it has maintained a policy and program consistent with its purpose to work by non-violent means for the establishment throughout the world of those political, economic, social and psychological conditions which can assure peace and freedom.

Her membership in her local chapter of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom gave her an abundance of opportunities to travel and teach abroad.
