Joan Nestle, född 12 maj 1940 i New York, är en amerikansk författare. Hon har tilldelats Lambda Award och är grundare av Lesbian Herstory Archives 1974, som sedan 1992 finns i Brooklyn, Park Slope, och inhyser över 20 000 böcker, 12 000 fotografier och 1 600 tidskrifter.
Som lesbisk författare ser hon sitt arbete med att arbeta med arkivering som en kritisk del av hennes identitet som kvinna, lesbisk och judinna."Jewish Women and GLBT Pride". Jewish Women's Archive. Retrieved 21 August 2012. As a woman, as a lesbian, as a Jew, I know that much of what I call history others will not. But answering that challenge of exclusion is the work of a lifetime. Nestle var under 1950-talet en del av arbetarklassens butch/femme-barkultur i New York, vilket hon också skrivit mycket om i sina essäer.
