Joseph Morrill Wells (1853–1890) was an American architect, known for his contributions to the work of the noteworthy architecture firm of McKim, Mead & White. Wells is said to have admired the architects of the Italian Renaissance, especially Donato Bramante, and to have been an important influence in the firm's transition in the mid-1880s away from the romantic and picturesque, and toward the classical.
