Corporal Joseph A. Gregory ("Joe") was a Canadian sniper during the Second World War.

He is referred to as hailing from either Swift Current, Saskatchewan or Calgary, Alberta and is believed to have been a veteran of the First World War.

Credited with several kills, he participated in the Dieppe Raid where he lost an eye. He became a cause celebre after his return to Canada and drummed up support for Canadian Army recruiting.

He was featured in TIME magazine's October 26, 1942 issue, as well as the December 1 Hamilton Spectator.

He was one of 114 Canadians awarded the Distinguished Service Medal during the war.
