Uncle Joe's Mint Balls are spherical mints produced by Wm Santus & Co. Ltd. in Wigan, Greater Manchester, England since 1898. The mascot is a smiling man. The packaging, usually a sealed can, describes its contents as "pure and good", and "They keep you all aglow".

The ingredients of Uncle Joe's Mint Balls are: pure cane sugar, oil of peppermint and cream of tartar and are described on the tin as "suitable for vegans".

British singer/songwriter and humorist Mike Harding has a song called Uncle Joe's Mint Balls on his 1975 album Mrs. 'Ardin's Kid.
