"Joe le taxi" (English: "Joe the Taxi Driver") is a French song written by Franck Langolff and Étienne Roda-Gil for French singer Vanessa Paradis. It was later included in her debut album, M&J, which was released in 1988.

Paradis recorded the song in 1987, at the age of fourteen. It went on to top the singles chart in France for eleven weeks, and, uncommonly for a French-language song at that time, was released in the United Kingdom the following year, where it peaked at number three. The song was included in her debut album, M&J (short for "Marilyn & John"), which, although peaking at number thirteen in France, drew limited interest in the UK when it was issued in August 1988. The music video for the song was produced by Lili Balian, Jake Hertz, and Addie Calcagnini.
