Joe Son (born November 22, 1971) is an American actor and mixed martial arts fighter. He is perhaps best known for his role in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, playing the character Random Task, a parody of James Bond henchman Oddjob.

Son was born in Huntington Beach, California. He is a retired MMA fighter remembered for his fight at UFC 4 where he lost to Keith Hackney. During the fight, Hackney repeatedly struck Son's groin (UFC had no rule against groin strikes at the time). He's also remembered for his elaborate ring entrances involving a crucifix (a' la Jesus) and his minimal ring attire. Son retired from MMA with a record of 0-4. He then spent a brief time in professional wrestling in Japan. Son was also Kimo Leopoldo's manager and spiritual advisor at his UFC debut.

Son is the founder and sole practitioner of the martial art Joe Son Do, a style Joe Son described as a hybrid of Taekwondo and Judo.
