Joseph Chevious (born July 3, 1967) is a retired American professional basketball player who played the Forward (basketball) position, and played three seasons in the National Basketball Association after being selected by Houston Rockets in the first round (16th pick overall) of the 1988 NBA draft. Chevious played at Missouri from 1984–88 and led the Tigers to three NCAA Tournament appearances and a Big Eight regular-season and tournament title.

Chevious played in the NBA from 1988 to 1991 for the Cleveland Cavaliers. His best season came when he appeared in 81 games and averaged 9.3 points per game.

Before that, Chevious played collegiately at the University of Missouri, becoming the school's all-time scoring leader with 2,580 points over his collegiate career.[1] Chevious was inducted into the University of Missouri Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 1996.[2] On November 1, 2012, it was announced that Chevious would be part of the "Class of 2012" inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame on November 15.[3] On February 19, 2019, during a ceremony at halftime of a game between Missouri and Kentucky, the university retired Chevious’ number 3 jersey.[4]

His son (b. 1992) played basketball at the University of Tennessee and Hampton University.[5]
