Josif Papamihali (23 September 1912 – 26 October 1948), was an Albanian Catholic priest of the Byzantine rite.

Born in Elbasan on September 23, 1912, Papamihali studied Philosophy and Theology in the Pontifical Greek College of Saint Athanasius in Rome, near the Angelicum, where he was ordained a priest on 1 December 1935 by Giovanni Mele, the Italo-Albanian Greek Catholic Church bishop of Lungro and all Byzantine Rite Italo-Albanians on the Italian mainland.

[clarification needed] Papamihali returned to Independent Albania in 1936 and served as a parish priest in Elbasan, Korçë, Berat, Lushnje, and Pogradec.

On 5 August 1947, Papamihali was sentenced by the courts to 5 years imprisonment and forced labor and was transferred to Korçë and later Maliq where he died.
