Joseph Oscar Giard (October 7, 1898 - July 10, 1956) was an American major league baseball player.

Born in Ware, Massachusetts, Giard played two seasons for the St. Louis Browns before being traded (along with outfielder Cedric Durst) for pitcher Sad Sam Jones in February 1927; [cite book |last=Gallagher |first=Mark |authorlink=Mark Gallagher |title=The Yankee Encyclopedia |publisher=Sports Publishing LLC |date=2003 |pages=115-116 |isbn=1582616833] Giard was therefore a member of the 1927 New York Yankees, [cite book |last=Anderson |first=Dave |authorlink=Dave Anderson (sportswriter) |title=The New York Yankees Illustrated History |publisher=St. Martin's Press |date=2002 |pages=36 |isbn=0312290942] a team often considered the greatest ever. [cite book |last=Stout |first=Glenn |authorlink=Glenn Stout |title=Yankees Century: 100 Years of New York Yankees Baseball |publisher=Houghton Mifflin Books |date=2002 |pages=115 |isbn=0618085270] [cite book |last=Mosedale |first=John |authorlink=John Mosedale |title=The Greatest of All: The 1927 New York Yankees |publisher=Dial Press |date=1974 |pages= |isbn=0803732155] He pitched 27 innings in 16 games for the Yankees that year, with an ERA of 8.00.

Giard died in Worcester, Massachusetts on July 10, 1956.
