Joseph Parsons (1876–1951) was a long-serving principal of Perth Modern School and an influential West Australian educator.

He was born in Moscow and emigrated to Australia from England in 1886. By 1901 he was a headmaster in the WA Goldfields town of Boulder, and impressed Cecil Andrews, and in 1905 was made head of Perth Boys School.[2]

Parsons died in 1951 and was buried at Karrakatta Cemetery. A library at Perth Modern is named for him.
