Joseph Payne (1808-1876) was an English educationalist and the first Professor of Education at the College of Preceptors in London. Born in Suffolk, Payne became a schoolteacher and came to prominence as one of the most vocal adherents of the methods of Joseph Jacotot in England, publishing in 1830 an exposition of Jacotot's methods and lecturing to other teachers about education. After a lifetime of teaching and of lecturing on the methods and history of education, in 1872 he was appointed to the College of Preceptors.
