Joseph Lykken (born June 17, 1957) is a theoretical physicist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. He received his Ph.D. in 1982 from M.I.T.

In 1996 Lykken proposed "weak scale superstrings," which posited extra dimensions of space within the reach of particle colliders, such as the Fermiab Tevatron, and the CERN Large Hadron Collider. This, and related ideas will be subject to direct and indirect experimental tests in the coming years.
