Joe Lefors (February 20, 1865 – October 1, 1940) was a lawman in the closing years of the Old West. He is best known for the arrest of gunman Tom Horn in 1903 for the alleged murder of 14-year-old sheepherder Willie Nickell, which has since come into question, and it has long been believed that Lefors falsified evidence helping to convict the wrong man for the murder. Lefors was featured as a character in the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, a role later portrayed by Peter Weller in the 1979 prequel Butch & Sundance: The Early Days.
