Joseph Wright (1818–1885) was an English architect from Hull, Yorkshire.[1] He was a pupil of Cuthbert Brodrick and designed about 20 Primitive Methodist chapels, predominantly in East Yorkshire.[2]

The grade II listed chapel he designed in Barton-upon-Humber was later a Salvation Army Citadel[3] and is as of 2019 an event venue known as the Joseph Wright Hall.[4]
