Joe Callicott, better known as Mississippi Joe Callicott (born October 10, 1900, Nesbit, Mississippi, died 1969, although that latter date is unconfirmed), was an American blues singer and guitarist.

His "Love Me Baby Blues" has been covered by various artists, including Ry Cooder, under the title of "France Chance". Arhoolie Records recorded Callicott commercially in the mid-1960's. Some of his 1967 recordings, recorded by the music historian, George Mitchell, were re-released in 2003, on the Fat Possum record label.

He served as a mentor to the guitarist Kenny Brown when Brown was ten years old.

A headstone was erected with the help of Kenny Brown on 29 April 1995 to honor Joe Callicott in the Mount Olive Baptist Church Cemetery in Nesbit, Mississippi. This marker was financed through the Mt. Zion Memorial Fund by Chris Strachwitz, Arhoolie Records and John Fogerty. Callicott's original marker was a paving stone which read simply "Joe" and this was subsequently donated to the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi.
