Joseph Herbert Buxton (20 November 1912 – 10 February 1992) was an English cricketer. Buxton was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm fast-medium. He was born at Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire.

Buxton made a single first-class appearance for Nottinghamshire against Gloucestershire at Trent Bridge in the 1937 County Championship.[1] Batting first, Nottinghamshire made 396 all out, with Buxton the last man out when he was dismissed by Reg Sinfield for 6 runs. In response, Gloucestershire were dismissed for 350, with Buxton taking the wicket of Charlie Barnett to finish with figures of 1/54 from eighteen overs. Nottinghamshire declared their second-innings on 204/4, with Buxton not required to bat. Gloucestershire reached 107/2 in their second-innings, in which Buxton bowled eleven wicketless overs. The match ended in a draw.[2] This was his only major appearance for the county.

He died at Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, on 10 February 1992. His uncle, Noah Buxton, was also a first-class cricketer.
