Joseph-Alfred Mousseau, PC (July 18, 1838 – March 30, 1886), was a French Canadian politician.
Born in Sainte-Geneviève-de-Berthier, Lower Canada, Mousseau was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons as a Conservative Member of Parliament in the 1874 election for the riding of Bagot, and was re-elected three times. In 1880, he was elevated to the Cabinet of Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald, serving first as president of the Queen's Privy Council of Canada, and then as Secretary of State for Canada.
Mousseau left federal politics to become the Conservative Premier of the province of Quebec from July 31, 1882, until his resignation on January 22, 1884, after being appointed as a judge. He died in Montreal in 1886.
