Joan Shakespeare (baptised 15 April 1569–buried 4 November 1646) was the sister of William Shakespeare.

Joan was Shakespeare's younger sister, named after her parents' deceased first-born child. She married a hatter named William Hart with whom she had four children, William (1600-39), Mary (1603-7), Thomas (1605-61), and Michael (1608-18).

Joan's husband, William, died in April 1616, and was buried 17 April, a week before William Shakespeare died. In his will her brother left her a legacy of £20 and granted her the right to live in the western part of the double family house on Henley Street in Stratford for a nominal yearly rent of one shilling. She continued to reside there for the remainder of her life, dying at the age of 77.

Her son William never married. Her other descendants via Thomas lived in Stratford until 1806.
