Josip Vilfan or Wilfan (30 August 1878 - 8 March 1955) was a Slovene lawyer, politician, and human rights activist from Trieste.
In the early 1920s, he was one of the political leaders of the Slovene and Croatian minority in the Italian-administered Julian March.
Together with Engelbert Besednjak, Lavo Cermelj and Ivan Marija Cok, he was the most influential representative of the Slovene émigrés from the Slovenian Littoral during the 1930s.
Next to Leonid Pitamic and Boris Furlan, Vilfan is considered as one of the most important Slovene legal theorists of the first half of the 20th century.
