Hora Prasad Joshi (Nepali: होराप्रसाद जोशी; 1925-2010) was a Nepali political figure who was crucial in shaping the politics of modern Nepali government. He was the Home Minister in B.P. Koirala's Nepali Congress, a social democratic political party. He also drafted the 1962 constitution for King Mahendra. He was also the Member Secretary of the National Health and Sports Council in 1958, and received a letter of felicitation for his contribution to Nepal's sports sector in 2002.

Hora Prasad Joshi wrote a book in 1958 called The Way to Political Stability: An Analysis discussing Nepal's tense political situation.

In 2006, a biography was written about his life and his role in Nepali politics. The biography, entitled Nabirsane ti dinaharu (नबिर्सने ती दिनहरु, translation: Those Days Which Cannot Be Forgotten), is available through the Library of Congress.
