Joseph Thomas Willoughby (7 November 1874 – 11 March 1952) was a South African cricketer who played in two Test matches in 1896.[1]

In the first match of the English tour of South Africa in 1895–96, Willoughby took 6 for 15 in the second innings to dismiss Lord Hawke's XI for 92 and give the Western Province XV victory by 74 runs.[2] He later played in the first and third of the three Tests in the series, taking six wickets. In the first Test he dismissed George Lohmann for a pair, and Lohmann did the same to him.[1]
