Joseph A. Gill (1854 – 1933) was an American federal judge.
A native of what is now Wheeling West Virginia and a graduate of the University of Illinois, Gill moved about in the western U.S., practicing law, and even editing newspapers. He settled in Kansas where he practiced law and became active in Republican party politics. A vigorous supporter of William McKinley for president in 1896, he was rewarded with an appointment as United States Judge for the Northern District of the Indian Territory in 1899. President Theodore Roosevelt reappointed him to serve in the same position from 1903 to 1907.
