Joseph Natus (March 1, 1860 – April 21, 1917) was an American minstrel performer and recording artist who was prominent during the early 20th century. He was a tenor.

He was born in Detroit, Michigan.[1]

He partnered with Arthur Collins in 1901 and they made 19 Edison cylinder recording and several Victor recording through 1902.[2] They also recorded as part of a quartet, including a performance of the song Goodbye, Dolly Gray that was popular.[3]

Natus also recorded a version of the song Coon, Coon, Coon.

He died April 21, 1917, in Rome, New York.[4] discographies are not complete, and DHAR (the source of nearly all records below) can be accessed to see the full discography.
