Joseph Henry Dawes (born 29 August 1970 in Herston, Queensland) is a former Australian cricketer who played for the Queensland Bulls in Australian domestic cricket.
He was a right-arm fast bowler.
He spent much of his early career in and out of the side due to the success of Michael Kasprowicz, Andy Bichel and Adam Dale.
In 2001-02 he enjoyed his first full season when Kasprowicz got injured and Bichel returned to the Test side.
He cemented his spot in the side and was a regular until a career ending knee injury in 2005.
He finished as Queensland's eighth-highest wicket-taker of all time with 238 victims at 24.94 from his 64 matches.
His best season with the Bulls came in 2001-02 with 49 wickets, topping the Pura Cup wicket tally.
43 and 46 wickets came in his next few seasons as he helped Queensland to claim back-to-back titles.
He has also played cricket at Middlesex and for the Marylebone Cricket Club.
In February 2012 he was appointed as the bowling coach of the Indian cricket team.
