Joseph Denison (c.1726–1806) was a London businessman and banker, originally from the present-day county of West Yorkshire. By the time of his death he had amassed a considerable fortune, and was owner of country estates in both Surrey and the North Riding of Yorkshire. These were passed on to his son William Joseph Denison, whose even greater accumulated wealth was to play a significant role in underpinning the financial standing and social status of the later Earls of Londesborough.
