Joseph Sikora (born June 27, 1976) is an American actor who portrays the character James Barr in the 2012 film Jack Reacher.

Sikora was born in Chicago, Illinois, and lived in the Jefferson Park and Norwood Park neighborhoods. He is of Polish descent. He attended Notre Dame College Prep in Niles, Illinois for high school graduating in 1994. He studied acting at Columbia College Chicago, where he earned his BA in theater. As a child, Sikora appeared in a McDonald's commercial with Michael Jordan. He made his Broadway debut in 2006 after he was cast as one of the leads on The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial. He is also an ensemble member of Chicago's Shattered Globe Theatre Company.

Sikora made his acting debut in an episode of The New Adam-12 after playing extras on a few TV shows. He was cast as Johnny in Rudy. After making small appearances in TV shows and films such as Early Edition, Turks, The Watcher, and Ghost World, he was cast in two episodes of Third Watch. In 2003, Sikora was cast as Roger in the direct-to-video biographical-drama film Gacy. After making a few appearances on low-budget movies, he was cast in the Golden Globe-nominated Normal, which he feels was his "break-through" moment when the star of the movie, Tom Wilkinson, told him that "all you have to do is think the line and the camera will read it".
