Joseph James "Joe" Dante Jr. (Morristown, 28 novembre 1946) è un regista, sceneggiatore, produttore cinematografico, montatore, attore e critico cinematografico statunitense. Appartiene alla generazione di registi americani formatisi alla New World Pictures, lo studio creato da Roger Corman nel 1970. Il suo più grande successo è stato Gremlins (1984). I film di Dante sono ben noti per i loro molti riferimenti ad altri film e per i loro effetti speciali. Il suo rispetto per lo sceneggiatore si estende fino al punto di fare spesso pressioni sulle produzioni per un'ulteriore remunerazione agli sceneggiatori al fine di assicurarsi di poter conferire in ogni momento con lo scrittore sul set, coinvolgendoli sempre in una piccola parte della produzione stessa. Dante ha citato spesso tra le sue maggiori influenze Roger Corman stesso, Chuck Jones, Frank Tashlin, James Whale, Mario Bava e Jean Cocteau, oltre che l'ammirazione per il film Hellzapoppin', da cui prende in prestito spesso battute.
