Joseph Moore Dixon (July 31, 1867 – May 22, 1934) was an American Republican politician from Montana.He served as a Representative, Senator, and the seventh Governor of Montana.
A businessman and a modernizer of Quaker heritage, Dixon was a leader of the Progressive Movement in Montana and nationally.
He was the nation chairman for Theodore Roosevelt running for the presidency as the candidate of the Progressive Party in 1912.
His term as governor, 1921–1925, was unsuccessful, as severe economic hardship limited the opportunities for action by the state government, and his great enemy the Anaconda Copper company mobilized its resources to defeat reform.
