Joseph Stanislaus Hansom FRIBA (1845–1931) was a British architect. He was the son and partner of the better-known Joseph Aloysius Hansom, inventor of the Hansom cab.[2] He trained with his father, becoming his partner in 1869, and taking over the family practice fully in 1880.

In 1881, he inherited the practice of John Aloysius Crawley (1834 –-1881).[3] In 1881, he designed Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Bognor Regis and extended St Mary Immaculate Church, Falmouth.[4][5]

He was among the founders, in 1904, of the Catholic Record Society,[6] and was so active on its behalf that the former Archivist of the Holy Roman Church, Cardinal Francis Aidan Gasquet described him as "its prime mover and energy."[7]
