Joseph Chambers (1815 – 16 July 1884) was an English-born Australian politician.

He was born in Portsmouth and worked as a solicitor before entering politics. On 25 November 1843 he married Mary Jane Way; his second marriage, on 13 October 1873, was to widow Mary Kelly. In 1859 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for East Maitland, but he resigned two months later on his appointment as Crown Prosecutor for the Western District. Chambers died at East Maitland in 1884.[1]
