Old Joe is a prehistoric rock art panel near Norfork in Baxter County, Arkansas. It consists of two shapes painted with a red pigment. One figure is a roughly circular shape with five rays extending upward; it is about 21 centimetres (8.3 in) in height and 16 centimetres (6.3 in) in width. The other figure is a simple roughly circular shape, varying in diameter between 19 and 21 centimetres (7.5 and 8.3 in). The first figure resembles one located at another site further down the White River.[2]

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
