Julian Kevin Joachim (born 20 September 1974) is an English former professional footballer who plays as a forward for Newark Town.

During his professional career he initially played from 1992 until 2011, but he came out of retirement in 2013. Joachim notably played in the Premier League for Leicester City and Aston Villa, having also played for Coventry City, Leeds United, Walsall, Boston United and Darlington before moving into the Non-League game to play for King's Lynn, Thurmaston Town, Quorn, Hinckley United, Holbeach United and Coalville Town. Over the course of his career in professional football, he has scored over 100 league goals and accumulated over 450 league appearances. Whilst at Aston Villa he played in the 2000 FA Cup Final.

Joachim came through the youth system at Leicester City, and went on to score the club's first ever Premier League goal on the opening day of the 1994–95 season in a 3–1 home defeat to Newcastle United.

He was sold to Aston Villa in 1996 for £1.5 million, making his debut for them as a substitute against Wimbledon on 24 February 1996. Playing for Villa, he appeared in the 2001 American crime thriller, Hannibal, briefly seen on a TV screen playing in the background. After five seasons in the Premiership, Joachim dropped down a division to play for the relegated Coventry City in a deal that saw Villa exchange Joachim plus £2 million for Mustapha Hadji.
