Joseph William Easby (12 August 1867 – 7 February 1915) was an English professional cricketer who played first-class cricket at the end of the 19th century. Easby was born at Appleton Wiske in Yorkshire in 1867. He joined the British Army and served in the King's Own York and Lancaster Regiment where, according to his Wisden obituary, he "learned his cricket" under the command of Leonard Hamilton. He played seven matches for Hampshire County Cricket Club in 1890 at a time when the county did not have first-class status.
