Denis Joseph "Din Joe" Buckley (19 March 1919 – 8 October 2009) was an Irish hurler who played as a left corner-back for the Cork senior team.

Buckley made his first appearance for the team during the 1940 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1949 championship. During that time he won five All-Ireland medal, four Munster medals and two National League medals. Buckley was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.

At club level Buckley was an eight-time county club championship medalist with Glen Rovers.
