Joanie Dodds (b. September 20, 1981, Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania) is an American fashion model. Dodds currently resides in Hollywood, California. She had her debut television appearance as a finalist on Cycle 6 of the CW reality TV series, America's Next Top Model. She attended The University of Findlay in Findlay, Ohio where she was a business major.

The judges on the show felt that Dodds lacked the personal presence of her final competitor, Danielle Evans, and she was thus named first-runner-up. According to Dodds, "The best girl won."

Arriving at casting, Joanie announced she was a rebellious preacher's daughter. She was known for her quirky humour and her dislike for fellow contestant Jade Cole. In the opening of the finale episode, a clip of her saying "Please send Jade home" is shown. While not known for having any animosity face-to-face with the other contestants, she did speak about being annoyed with contestant Sara Albert for copying her poses in a photoshoot in Thailand done atop an elephant.

From the beginning of the season, the panel praised her photogeneity, and Tyra Banks noted, "Joanie just can't take a bad picture." This landed her in the final two; however, despite having the more versatile portfolio, she was beaten by Danielle Evans' stronger in-person presence and stronger final runway walk. However, Joanie Dodds has set three records in America's Next Top Model history - she was the first contestant that managed to make it to the final two without a single appearance in the bottom two (later met by Cycle 8 winner Jaslene Gonzalez and Cycle 10 runner up Anya Kop) , she received five first call-outs (later followed by Anya Kop from Cycle 10), the highest amount and received three consecutive first call-outs, also the highest amount.
