Joseph Samuel Gartner (1912–2002) was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1930s and was a dual premiership winner.
Gartner was graded with Newtown in 1931 and went straight into first grade. Gartner was a prolific try scorer during his career and usually played on the wing. He played five seasons with Newtown between 1931 and 1935, which included winning a premiership with them in 1933. He then moved to Canterbury-Bankstown and played six seasons with them between 1936 and 1941. He won a further premiership with Canterbury in 1938 and he scored two tries in that match.[2] He was the father of another Canterbury-Bankstown legend, Ray Gartner.[3]
