Joseph Edgar Joseph was an exchange broker and philanthropist.

He first came to Hong Kong as a small child in 1884 and spent most of the rest of his life here and in Shanghai.

He was interned in Stanley during the war, but seems to have been 'guaranteed out' in 1942.

He made donations to a wide variety of Hong Kong charities, to the Hebrew University in Palestine, and to the needy in Shanghai's Jewish community.
