St. Joe is an unincorporated community in the town of Marshfield in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, United States. The community is located on County Highway G in the northeast portion of the county, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) northwest of St. Cloud and 3.5 miles (5.6 km) northeast of Mount Calvary. It is considered part of the Holyland.[2]

The first settlers came to the area from nearby Johnsburg in 1847. A Catholic parish was soon formed in the area, and mass was first held in a log cabin church in 1860. The present-day stone St. Joseph's Church was built in 1870. A creamery used to be in the area.[3][4]
