Joseph Cunningham (1877–July 1965) was a unionist politician in Northern Ireland.
Cunningham worked as a shipyard fitter,[1] and was prominent in the local branch of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers. In 1912, he voted against the union paying a levy to the Labour Party, and was the only delegate to a union conference not to join a protest against the imprisonment of Tom Mann.[2]
In 1921, Cunningham was elected to the first Senate of Northern Ireland as an Ulster Unionist Party member, despite having no political experience. He became the longest-serving senator, remaining in post until his death in 1965.[1]
