Ganesh Vasudeo Joshi (Marathi: गणेश वासुदेव जोशी) (20 July 1828 – 25 July 1880) was a lawyer, social reformer, and political activist. He was a founding member of Poona Sarvajanik Sabha. He was also called Sarvajanik Kaka (Marathi: सार्वजनिक काका) with affectionate humour. He was a social activist in Pune when Maharashtrian revival began, and he was the elderly guiding philosopher when Tilak and Agarkar's generation gave impetus to Indian independence struggle. Joshi also represented Vasudev Balwant Phadke as his lawyer in Phadke's trial.
Joshi had a daughter who was married to Gopal Krishna Gokhale.
He died on 25 July 1880 due to heart trouble.
