Joseph Claver Casavant (1855 − 10 December 1933) was a Canadian organ builder. He was born in Quebec; his father, also named Joseph Casavant, was the founder of the organ-manufacturing firm of Casavant Frères‎. He served an apprenticeship with his father and then went to Europe with his brother, to study organ manufacturing, returning in 1880. He married Evelina Pappineau that year. He was made a Commander of the Order of Gregory the Great in 1925, and died in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, on 10 December 1933.[1]
