Joseph Jorkens is the Clubland teller of tall tales in stories by Lord Dunsany. In the setting of the Billiards Club in London, Jorkens recalls fantastical adventures from the travels of his youth, stories of adventure, mystery, and the supernatural. Three of his tales recount incidents where he faces off against an old schoolfellow, the villainous Dr. Caber.
In Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life, Philip José Farmer identifies Jorkens's parents as James Jorkens and Mary Spade.
