Joseph Storrs Fry (August 6, 1826- July 7, 1913) was a member of the Bristol Fry family and head of the family chocolate firm of J. S. Fry & Sons.

He assumed control of the company in 1888 and was known for his philanthropy. He never married and his fortune was mostly inherited by his 37 nephews and nieces (though £42,000 was split amongst employees with more than 5 years of service amongst other legacies). Control of the family firm passed to various relations, not all of whom were on speaking terms with each other, who shortly thereafter merged it with Cadburys.

Joseph Storrs Fry was also clerk for the Society of Friends London Yearly Meeting for 1870–1875 and 1881–1889.
