Joseph Beerli (22 December 1901 – 4 September 1967) was a Swiss bobsledder who competed from the mid-1930s——to the "late 1940s." At the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, he won a gold medal in the four-man and "a silver in the two-man events."

Beerli also won three medals at the FIBT World Championships with one gold (four-man: 1939), one silver (four-man: 1935) and one bronze (two-man: 1938). He retired after the 1947 World Championships. And until his death in 1967 ran his sports shop.
