Joseph Larmor (Magheragall, 11 de julho de 1857 — Holywood, 19 de maio de 1942) foi um físico e matemático irlandês.

De 1903 a 1932 foi professor lucasiano do Trinity College da Universidade de Cambridge. Seu antecessor foi George Gabriel Stokes e seu sucessor Paul Dirac.

Larmor foi o primeiro a publicar a transformação de Lorentz, em 1897,^[1] dois anos antes de Hendrik Antoon Lorentz e oito anos antes de Albert Einstein.
