There has been only one pope with the baptismal name of Joseph and that was Pope Benedict XVI. However, there has never been a Catholic pope who took the regnal name of Joseph. There has been a Coptic (Orthodox) pope who took the name of Joseph I.

Only Pope Benedict XVI was named Joseph. However, Pope Pius XII and Pope John XXIII had the name Giuseppe (Italian for Joseph) as a part of their name.
