Joseph Beckham Cobb (April 11, 1819 – September 15, 1858) was an American writer and politician.

Joseph Beckham Cobb was born on April 11, 1819, in Oglethorpe County, Georgia;[1] George T. Buckley identifies Cobb's birthplace as near Lexington, Georgia.[2] His father was Thomas W. Cobb.[3] He attended a school in Willington, South Carolina, and the University of Georgia, leaving in 1838 without a degree.[4] He married Almira Clayton on October 5, 1837.[5]

Cobb moved to Mississippi in 1838 and was elected to the Mississippi Legislature in 1841, resigning in 1843.[6] By 1844 he lived in Columbus, Mississippi, where he held a plantation.[7] As of his death in 1858, his $117,000 (~$3.21 million in 2023) estate included 1,500 acres of land and more than 100 enslaved persons.[5]

Cobb published three books: The Creole (1850), a work of historical fiction; Mississippi Scenes (1851), a set of humorous observations about people and culture in Columbus; and Leisure Labors (1858), an essay collection.[8] He published essays in magazines as well.[7] Jay Broadus Hubbell describes Cobb's politics as "typical of the wealthy Whig planters" in that he opposed secession of the South from the United States.[9] In Mississippi Scenes, he wrote about Indigenous people, including Choctaw, and Black enslaved people, in highly derogatory terms.[10]

Cobb died on September 15, 1858.[11]
