Joseph-Étienne Letellier de Saint-Just (25 February 1880 – 7 July 1939) was a Liberal party member of the Canadian House of Commons. He was born in Saint-David-de-Lévis, Quebec and became a jeweller and an alderman and mayor of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec.

Letellier de Saint-Just attended Saint Jean Baptiste Academy at Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. Beginning in 1901, he was an official time inspector for the Quebec Central Railway and the Canadian Pacific Railway.
