Blessed Maria Teresa of Saint Joseph, DCJ (born Anna Maria Tauscher van den Bosch; 19 June 1855 – 20 September 1938), was a German religious sister and the founder of the Carmelite Daughters of the Divine Heart of Jesus. Tauscher worked in Cologne and was removed from her position after she converted to Roman Catholicism in 1888 so founded a congregation in the Netherlands upon choosing the Carmelite charism for her life.

Her beatification was held in mid-2006 in the Netherlands.
