Josephville is a locality in the Scenic Rim Region of South East Queensland, Australia. At the 2011 Australian Census Josephville and surrounding localities recorded a combined population total of 201. The main land use in the area is agriculture.
Part of the northern border is marked by the Logan River and its tributary Sandy Creek. A section of the border in the south also follows the Logan River. In the west the land rises to elevations above 500 m above sea level. Both the Mount Lindesay Highway and the Sydney–Brisbane rail corridor pass through Josephville.
The Beaudesert Shire Tramway, which operated from 1903 to 1944, had a station here. Josephville was once part of Beaudesert Shire, a former local government area. Josephville State School operated from 1909 to 1935.
