Joseph McDowell "Joe" Mitchell (March 25, 1922 – March 26, 1993) was a local official and conservative activist who served as city manager of Newburgh, New York, from 1960 to 1963. During his controversial tenure there—a period known as the "Battle of Newburgh"—he introduced a wide-ranging reform plan aiming to scale back and regulate the provision of welfare in the city. Though only a small part of his plan was implemented due to opposition from the state government and successive court injunctions against it, his efforts garnered him national fame, attracting the praise of conservative figures such as Barry Goldwater and the condemnation of moderates and liberals, and gave him a historical legacy as a pioneer of workfare policies.
