Joseph Robinson Kirk (1821 – 30 August 1894) was a noted Irish sculptor.
He was born in Dublin, the eldest son of Thomas Kirk. He lived in Jervis Street and studied with his father (along with two brothers and a sister who also became sculptors) and at the Dublin Society's School.
He became master of the RDS modelling school in 1852 and in 1854 he became a member of the Royal Hibernian Academy.
Among his best-known works are the figures of Divinity, Law, Medicine and Science on the campanile in TCD and a relief at the base of the Wellington Monument. He also executed the figure over his father's grave in Mount Jerome Cemetery. Like his father he executed a number of unique reliefs for church memorials throughout the country.
He died in 1894 and is interred in Mount Jerome Cemetery, Dublin.
