Joseph Walker Pease (1820 - 22 November 1882){{Rayment-hc|h|4|date=December 2017}} was a Conservative Party politician.

Despite his Quaker beliefs, Pease was an enthusiast for the Volunteer movement and on 11 August 1860 was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel in command of the 1st (Consolidated) Battalion, East Yorkshire Rifle Volunteers. Until it built Londesborough Barracks in Kingston upon Hull as its drill hall in 1864, the battalion drilled at the Cyclops Foundry, in which Pease had a commercial interest.Army List.Ian F.W.
