Joseph R. Turnesa (January 31, 1901 – July 15, 1991) was an American professional golfer.

Turnesa was born in New York, New York.

He was one of seven famous golfing brothers: Phil (1896–1987), Frank (1898–1949), Joe (1901–1991), Mike (1907–2000), Doug (1909–1972), Jim (1912–1971), and Willie (1914–2001).

Among his brothers, Joe won the most times (14) on the PGA Tour. The family was referred to as a "golf dynasty" in a 2000 New York Times article.

Turnesa finished second to Bobby Jones in the 1926 U.S. Open and second to Walter Hagen in the 1927 PGA Championship. He was a member of the U.S. Ryder Cup teams in 1927 and 1929.

Turnesa died in Florida in 1991.
