Joseph Martin McCabe (* 12. November 1867 in Macclesfield, Cheshire; † 10. Januar 1955) war zunächst Priester und später bekannter britischer Schriftsteller und Freidenker, der sich für den Atheismus einsetzte.

Im Jahr 1890 wurde Joseph McCabe zum Priester ordiniert. Durch die Erfahrungen in seinem Amt zunehmend desillusioniert und wandte er sich schließlich ab. Im Jahr 1896 beendete er sein Priesteramt. Bald darauf begann seine schriftstellerische Karriere, in der er den Katholizismus mit geschickter Feder kritisierte. Er schrieb eine beträchtliche Anzahl von Büchern. Zum Ende seines Lebens trat er der National Secular Society bei.
