Joe Falk (born January 30, 1951 in Chesapeake, Virginia) is an American auto dealer and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team owner, as well as a former driver. He was the owner of the No. 33 car of Circle Sport in the Sprint Cup Series from 2012 to 2015, as well as of Little Joe's Autos, an automobile dealership in the Virginia Tidewater.

He is currently the co-owner of Circle Sport – The Motorsports Group.

Falk started his racing career at Langley Speedway, where he won the track's Late Model championship in 1976; he was also the winner of what some regard as "the [track's] best Late Model race of all time", in 1983.

Falk drove in one NASCAR sanctioned race at the 'national series' level, competing in the Busch Series (now Xfinity Series) Bobby Isaac Memorial 200 at Hickory Motor Speedway in October 1984; he finished 17th after starting 23rd, driving a Pontiac for Bubba Nissen Racing.

Falk became a team owner in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series in 1997, partnered with Ron Neal to form LJ Racing, fielding the No. 91 Chevrolet; the team struggled, and utilized several drivers over the next three years before closing.

He returned to NASCAR team ownership in 2011, fielding the No. 50 Chevrolet under the LTD Powersports name.

For the 2012 season, Falk joined Hillman Racing, owned by former Cup Series crew chief and Germain Racing team manager Mike Hillman, Sr., as a partial owner; the team attempted to qualify for the 2012 Daytona 500 with driver Michael Waltrip, but failed to make the race. Falk also co-owned Hillman Racing's Camping World Truck Series team. In April 2012, he acquired the assets of the former Richard Childress Racing No. 33 Chevrolet team, establishing Circle Sport; in 2013 he partnered with Hillman Racing once again to add Hillman's No. 40 Chevrolet to the team, running two cars in most Sprint Cup events starting mid-season.
