Sir Joseph Walton (25 September 1845 – 12 August 1910) was an English lawyer and judge. He was a Justice of the High Court from 1901 until his sudden death in 1910.

He acquired a reputation in commercial work, first in Liverpool's local courts, then in the Commercial Court in London, which he dominated from its creation in 1895. As a judge, however, he disappointed many by not fulfilling expectations, owing to his over-conscientiousness and diffidence about his abilities.
