Joseph Lockhart (born July 13, 1959) served as White House Press Secretary from October 5 1998 to September 29 2000 during the administration of President Bill Clinton. He handled the press during the Clinton impeachment trials.

Born in the Bronx, Lockhart grew up in Suffern, New York. He is the son of Raymond Lockhart, a longtime NBC producer associated with the Huntley-Brinkley Report and special-events coverage. He volunteered for the Jimmy Carter 1976 presidential campaign, worked for NBC at the 1976 Democratic National Convention, and worked in Carter's fall campaign press office. He worked for Dick Davis, a candidate for Lt. Gov. of Virginia. He graduated from Georgetown University in 1982. That year, Gannett hired him to do publicity for the launch of "USA Today", in part utilizing his NBC connections. He was press secretary for the 1984 presidential campaign of Walter Mondale, then worked for Paul Simon in the Senate. Stints with ABC and CNN followed, then the Michael Dukakis campaign. He moved to Robinson, Lake, Lerer & Montgomery with Mike McCurry, then back to ABC when they hired his wife and colleague from the Mondale campaign Laura Logan. Another gig with NBC covering the Romanian Revolution preceded his first on-air job with Sky News reporting on the Gulf War and then business. Private practice with Robinson, Lake followed, where he handled publicity for the Al Nahayan family during parts of the BCCI scandal. Eventually McCurry recruited him back to politics and the Clinton presidential campaign. [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/lockhart090998.htm]

Lockhart currently resides in Washington, DC with his 13-year old daughter Clare and is president of the consulting firm Glover Park Group [http://www.gloverparkgroup.com] .
