Joseph Margulies (1896-1984) was a Vienna-born American painter and printmaker. He immigrated to the United States at an early age. He studied at the Art Students League of New York with the printmaker Joseph Pennell (1857-1926), from 1922 to 1925. Margulies then continued his studies at the National Academy of Design, Cooper Union in New York City, and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He also apprenticed with Maynard Waltner in Vienna.

Margulies is best known for his portrait prints and seascapes of the New England coast. The Butler Institute of American Art (Youngstown, Ohio), the Library of Congress, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Portrait Gallery (Washington D. C.) and Yale University Art Gallery are among the public collections holding work by Joseph Margulies.
