Joseph Riley (6 March 1928 – 1983) was an English amateur footballer who played as a forward in the Football League for Darlington and in non-league football for Stockton.

Playing at inside left or centre forward, Riley had a run of seven Third Division North matches for Darlington early in the 1949–50 season, beginning with the visit to Doncaster Rovers on 3 September. He scored on his second appearance, in a 4–3 defeat of Bradford City, and again on his sixth, in a 2–1 loss at home to Mansfield Town. His eighth and last senior appearance for Darlington came in December. In October 1949, Riley was selected for an Army XI to play Aston Villa.
