Captain Joseph Edward Lynch (born 26 April 1880 in Monkstown, County Dublin, Ireland; died 25 September 1915 in Loos, France) was an Irish cricketer. A right-handed batsman and right-arm medium-fast bowler, he played twice for the Ireland cricket team in September 1909. His first match for Ireland was against "All New York" on Staten Island. He did not score a run in the match as Ireland won by an innings. In his second match, also his only first-class match, he played against Philadelphia, and was the tenth victim of Bart King in the Irish first innings. He did not play for Ireland again.
