Joseph Mazzini Wheeler (London, 24 Jan., 1850 - 1898) was an English historian.
- Converted from Christianity by reading Newman, Mill, Darwin, Spencer, etc. Has contributed to the National Reformer Secularist, Secular Chronicle, Liberal, Progress, and Freethinker which he has sub-edited since 1882, using occasionally the signatures "Laon," "Lucianus" and other pseudonyms. Has published Frauds and Follies of the Fathers '88, Footsteps of the Past, a collection of essays in anthropology and comparative religion '86; and Crimes of Christianity, written in conjunction with G. W. Foote, with whom he has also edited Sepher Toldoth Jeshu. The compiler of the present work is a willing drudge in the cause he loves, and hopes to empty many an inkstand in the service of Freethought. --A biographical dictionary of freethinkers
