Joseph Zobel (born April 26, 1915, in Martinique, died June 18, 2006 in Alès, France) is the author of several novels and short-stories in which social issues are at the forefront.

His most famous novel, La Rue Cases-Nègres (often translated as Black Shack Alley or Sugar Cane Alley), is an account of a young boy raised by his grandmother in a post-slavery, but still plantation-based, Martinique. The novel was adaptated to the screen by Euzhan Palcy in 1982.

Joseph Zobel spent some time in Senegal, and retired to the southern part of France.
