José Joaquín Mora Porras (1818–1860) was a Costa Rican politician. He was the younger brother of the presidents of that country, Juan Rafael Mora Porras and Miguel Mora Porras, and was deputy commander of the armed forces in San Jose, Costa Rica.

During the war against the filibusters, he played an important role as deputy commander in chief of the army of Costa Rica and Central forces chief.

In the port of Puntarenas, Costa Rica there exists a series of tiled murals on low walls arrayed around the more modern, single water tower. This location is purportedly where he would be executed by firing squad.

His great-great-granddaughter is actress Madeleine Stowe.
