Joe Anderson (born 24 December 1988) is an indigenous Australian rules footballer who played for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League.
Born in Tennant Creek, Northern Territory, Anderson is a fast and durable rebounding defender and occasional midfielder who captained the Northern Territory at Under-18 level and was best and fairest for Darwin Football Club.
Anderson was selected in the 2006 AFL National Draft by the Carlton Football Club with their fifth round selection (67th overall pick).
He made his AFL debut in Carlton's 2007 Round 4 clash against the West Coast Eagles at Subiaco. Throughout his first three seasons, he struggled to hold a regular position, playing twelve games overall, and spending most of his time developing with Carlton's VFL-affiliate, the Northern Bullants. He was a member of the Bullants' losing 2009 grand final team, and played his 50th game for the VFL club in 2010. He was de-listed by the Carlton Football Club at the end of the 2010 season.
