Joseph Graham Fogg (July 6, 1882 – December 2, 1946) was an American football player for the Wisconsin Badgers and the Akron East Ends. Born in Mount Vernon, Iowa, he was also the founder and president of the Cleveland Touchdown Club as well as prominent attorney in Cleveland, Ohio. From 1909 until his death in 1946, he was a law partner at Calfee & Fogg, today known as Calfee, Halter & Griswold LLP.

During the beginning of his law career, he practiced part-time and coached the East High School football team. From 1907 to 1910, he was the head football coach at Case School of Applied Science—now known as Case Western Reserve University. He was later inducted into the school's varsity hall of fame on April 4, 1986.

From 1898 to 1899, Fogg served with the 49th Iowa Volunteer Infantry, Company "A" during the Spanish–American War.[1]

Fogg was a part-owner of the Cleveland Rams of the National Football League (NFL).[citation needed]
