Joseph William Henry Makepeace (22 August 1881, Middlesbrough, Yorkshire – 19 December 1952, Bebington, Cheshire) was an English sportsman who appeared for his country four times at each of cricket and football. He is one of just 12 double internationals.

Makepeace played in four Tests for England in the 1920/21 Ashes. His first class career with Lancashire lasted from 1906 to 1930. "I count Makepeace amongst the immortals of Lancashire and Yorkshire cricket," wrote Neville Cardus.[1]
After his retirement from playing, he spent two decades as county coach.[2]
Makepeace made four appearances as a wing-half for the England national football team between 1906 and 1912 whilst on the books of Everton, winning the F A cup in 1906.
