Sir Joseph Chambers (25 November 1864 — 22 September 1935) was a Royal Navy officer, surgeon and an early Ireland international rugby union player of the 1880s.
Chambers came from Bailieborough in County Cavan and was educated at Trinity College Dublin, where he studied medicine. He played rugby for Dublin University and was capped five times as a forward for Ireland.[1]
A Royal Navy surgeon, Chambers served in the Second Boer War and during World War I was an operating surgeon at the Royal Naval Hospital in Chatham, for which he was made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George. He served as Director General of the Medical Department of the Navy from 1923 to 1927, and in 1925 was named an honourary physician to the King. Knighted in 1926, Chambers retired as a Surgeon Vice Admiral.[2]
