Joseph David Wozencroft Pigott (born 24 November 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for EFL League Two side AFC Wimbledon, on loan from EFL League One club Leyton Orient.

Pigott began his career with Charlton Athletic, signing his first professional contract in January 2012. He played only 16 games for Charlton in four and a half seasons, and was loaned out to a number of lower-level clubs. In 2016 he was released by Charlton and joined Cambridge United of EFL League Two. After a loan spell with non-League club Maidstone United, he signed for the team on a permanent basis in 2017. In January 2018, he returned to the English Football League when he was signed by AFC Wimbledon of EFL League One, and he went on to play more than 150 games for the team and was the first player to score a goal at their new Plough Lane stadium. In 2021 he moved to another League One club, Ipswich Town, but after one season as a semi-regular in the team he was loaned out once again, this time to Portsmouth. He subsequently moved to Leyton Orient, and in 2024 was sent on a season-long loan to his former club, AFC Wimbledon.
