Joel C. Heitkamp (born November 2, 1961) is a former North Dakota Democratic-NPL Party member of the North Dakota Senate, representing the 26th district from 1994 to 2008.

Heitkamp is also a talk show host. He was host of KFGO's News and Views program (replacing, and later being replaced by, Ed Schultz), and now hosts the "Joel Heitkamp Show" on KFGO, KLXX "SuperTalk 1270" Bismarck, ND (effective July 1, 2013), and KCJB in Minot, ND.

On February 18, 2008, Heitkamp announced on his radio program that he would not be a candidate for re-election in 2008 due to Federal Communications Commission rules regarding equal-time for candidates of the opposite party.

His sister, Heidi Heitkamp, is the incumbent junior U.S. Senator from North Dakota and former Attorney General of North Dakota.
