Joseph Francis Rummel (October 14, 1876 – November 8, 1964) was bishop of the Diocese of Omaha, Nebraska (March 30, 1928 – March 9, 1935) and Archbishop of the Archdiocese of New Orleans (March 9, 1935 – November 8, 1964).

Joseph Francis Rummel was born in the village of Steinmauern in the Grand Duchy of Baden, German Empire, on October 14, 1876. His family immigrated to the United States when he was six years old. Like many recent German immigrants, the Rummels settled in the Yorkville District of Manhattan in New York City. Joseph Rummel attended St. Boniface Parochial School, which was later demolished and is now the location of the United Nations Building. He attended St. Mary's College, a Redemptorist minor seminary in North East, Pennsylvania, which is now part of Mercyhurst College. He was graduated from the Benedictine Saint Anselm College in Goffstown, New Hampshire in one of the first classes to be graduated since the college's founding in 1889.
