Rear Admiral Joseph Bulloch Coghlan (9 December 1844 – 5 December 1908) was an officer in the United States Navy during the American Civil War and the Spanish-American War.

Born at Frankfort, Kentucky, Coghlan graduated from the Naval Academy in 1863. He served in "Sacramento" during the Civil War and led the expedition which captured the batteries at Cavite (2 May, 1898) and at Isla Grande, Subic Bay (7 July) during the Spanish-American War.

Two ships have been named USS "Coghlan" in his honor.
