Joe Flynn (born 19?? in Dublin, Ireland) is an Irish former racing driver.

In the mid-1950s Flynn was a works driver for MG, taking part in the Le Mans 24 Hours for the British marque in 1955. A year later, Flynn was signed by the Irish Racing Cars team to take part in the Irish and Scottish Grands Prix - from which he retired on both occasions.

Flynn returned to take part in the Irish and British Grands Prix in 1957 - taking a extremely popular sixth place in his home race. Flynn's performance attracted the attention of Escuderia Hernandez for the German Grand Prix but an administrative error saw his entry be withdrawn.

BRM picked up Flynn for the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix but he failed to qualify.
