Joseph Clarkson Maddison (26 February 1850 – 11 December 1923) was a New Zealand architect.
He trained as an architect in his native London and came to Canterbury at the age of 22.
At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, he was one of the most prominent architects in Christchurch, receiving commissions from all over the country.
Until the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, 13 of his buildings were listed by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust on their register, with three of those Category I listings, but many of the Christchurch buildings have been demolished since.
His style was plain and utilitarian, and he specialised in the classical Italian mode.
