Joseph Dietzgen约瑟夫·狄慈根（Joseph Dietzgen，1828年－1888年），德国社会主义著作家和哲学家，同时是一名制革工人。曾经侨居在美国和俄国。他十分积极地参加工人运动，通过自学所得出的结论与马克思、恩格斯的辩证唯物主义非常相近。
主要著作有《一个社会主义者在认识论领域中的漫游》、《哲学的成就》等。马克思、恩格斯对其有很高的评价。他的思想对马克思、列宁和安东尼·潘涅库克有一定影响。
Peter Josef Dietzgen (October 28, 1828 – April 15, 1888) was a German socialist philosopher, Marxist and journalist. Joseph was born in Blankenberg in the Rhine Province of Prussia. He was the first of five children of father Johann Gottfried Anno Dietzgen (1794–1887) and mother Anna Margaretha Lückerath (1808–1881). He was, like his father, a tanner by profession; inheriting his uncle's business in Siegburg. Entirely self-educated, he developed the notion of dialectical materialism independently from Marx and Engels as an independent philosopher of socialist theory. His publications had major influences on Vladimir Lenin and the Russian Revolution of 1917, which are rarely commented on today. Ludwig Feuerbach's works had a great influence on his early theories. He had one son, Eugene Dietzgen.
