Joseph "Doc" Stacher (b. 1902-d. 1977) was a Jewish syndicate leader who helped bring together the Jewish and Italian Mafia into a national organized crime syndicate.

In 1931, Stacher helped Meyer Lansky organize a conference of Jewish organized crime leaders at the Franconia Hotel, which later would see the alleged merging of the Jewish and Italian Mafia into a national crime syndicate.

Stacher continued running Mafia gambling operations until 1964, when Federal authorities arrested him for tax evasion.
