Joseph Wallace (born c. 1821 – 29 April 1910) was an Irish–British alternative medicine practitioner, patent medicine creator, writer, and activist. He developed the "Wallace system", promoting a vegetarian diet free of fermented foods, and sold patented medicines alongside consultations. With his wife, Chandos Leigh Hunt, he co-authored Physianthropy (1885) under the pseudonym "Lex et Lux".
