Joseph Paul Kolter (born September 3, 1926) was a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives for Pennsylvania.

Joe Kolter was born in McDonald, Ohio. He graduated from Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, and served in the United States Army from 1944 to 1947. He was a New Brighton city councilman from 1961 to 1965, and a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, 1969–1982.

He was elected as a Democrat to the 98th and to the four succeeding Congresses serving from January 3, 1983 to January 3, 1993. He was an unsuccessful candidate for renomination in 1992 to the 103rd United States Congress.

During his time in Congress, Kolter was publicly quoted as saying that the Nicaraguan Contras were "controlled by a man named Uno." UNO was the acronym for the Contras' umbrella organization, the United Nicaraguan Opposition (Spanish: "Unidad Nicaragüense Opositora".)

Kolter was implicated in the Congressional Post Office Scandal, that also involved Dan Rostenkowski. He was indicted and sentenced to 6 months in prison.
