Josef "Joe" Saxinger (February 2, 1930 – July 3, 2008[1]) was a German-born farmer, business owner and political figure in Saskatchewan. He represented Kinistino from 1986 to 1991 in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan as a Progressive Conservative.

He was born in Niederbrünst and was educated in Haag and Passau. Saxinger trained as a tool and die maker. He came to Canada in 1954 and settled in the Cudworth district. Saxinger farmed, operated a car dealership, Saxinger Motors, and then operated Saxinger Farm Parts and Implements. He was later a partner in the Sagehill Buffalo Ranch. He was married twice: first to Eleonore Lobl in 1956 and then to Delphine Nielsen in 2006. Saxinger served as fire chief for Cudworth.[1]

He was defeated by Armand Roy when he ran for reelection to the Saskatchewan assembly in 1991.[2]
