Joseph Palmer Dyer (January 29, 1827 – July 7, 1891) was an American politician of California, mine superintendent and stockbroker.
He was born in Vinalhaven, Maine, the son of George Dyer (1785-1865) and Jane Pendleton (1792-1863). Dyer was the mayor of Sacramento, California, in 1857.
He was married on October 4, 1853, in Rockport, Maine, to Deborah Hatheway Curtis (1829-?) They had the following children, all born in California: Alice C. Dyer (ca. 1855-?); Jennie Dyer (ca. 1857-?); Joseph B. Dyer (ca. 1859-?); Ralph Dyer (January 16, 1864-?); Ruth Barstow Dyer (January 16, 1864-?); and Mary Stackpole Dyer (April 21, 1865-January 14, 1941).
While his family lived in Woburn, Massachusetts, in 1870, Dyer was in Mariposa, California, working as a superintendent of a mine. In 1880, they were all together in Oakland, and Dyer was a stockbroker.
Joseph P. Dyer died at age 64 in Sacramento.
