Joseph Franz von Goez (born 28 February 1754 in Sibiu, present-day Romania) was a lawyer, artist, illustrator and portraitist active in Vienna in the mid-18th century.
Goez is credited as having created the first graphic novel, with his authorship of Lenardo und Blandine: ein Melodram nach Bürger.
This was an illustrated story book of a play Goez had written and produced based on a poem by Gottfried August Bürger.
