Joseph Penzer (1830 – 26 September 1905) was an English-born Australian politician.

He was born in Birmingham, a farmer's son. He arrived in New South Wales around 1854 and settled in Grafton, where he kept a store, and then at Dubbo, where he was a pastoralist. On 14 April 1879 he married Jane Rebecca Booth, with whom he had two sons. In 1887 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as a Free Trade member for Bogan. He did not re-contest in 1889. Penzer died at Yarrandale near Dubbo in 1905.[1]
