Joseph A. Small (November 3, 1892-April 26, 1958) was a West Indian cricketer who played in West Indies' first Test in their inaugural Test tour of England.

Small was born in Princes Town, Trinidad. He was one of the many West Indian cricketers of his time whose Test career started at an advanced age; he was 35 in his first Test. ref|pp He also scored the first fifty in a Test by a West Indian in the Test at Lord's in 1928. ref|statsguru

"International cricketers," wrote C. L. R. James in recollection of Small's enthusiasm when, as a boy, the writer bowled to him the Queen's Park Savannah, "are not as ordinary men. There might be only two boys fielding, but if you bowled Joe a half-volley outside the off stump, he hit with all his force, though he would have to wait until the ball came back from 150 yards."

Small died in Forest Reserve, Trinidad, at the age of 65.
