Joe Flynn (born 8 December 1917 in Dalkey, County Dublin, died January 1985) was an Irish racing driver.

Flynn was one of the top handicap racers in Ireland during the 1950s, winning the Sexton Trophy three times in 1952, 1957 and 1960. He competed mainly in MGs at home, but also tried his hand at international events such as the 1955 Le Mans race where his teammate Dick Jacobs crashed the car before Flynn got to drive. In 1956, 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attracted the attention of Escuderia Hernandez for the German Grand Prix but an administrative error saw his entry be withdrawn.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.

Racing became a family pastime, with Flynn's wife Evelyn, son Johnny, and daughter Francine all also taking up the sport. A championship series for classic MGs is also named in his honour.
