Joseph William Julian (18 April 1889 – 10 November 1957) was an English football manager. After his playing career was cut short by injury, he became known for his lengthy stint managing clubs in the Netherlands, including Feyenoord, NAC Breda, NEC, MVV Maastricht and Willem II, among others.

While Julian was managing in the Netherlands, it was not uncommon for coaches to train other clubs on a part-time basis. Julian was no exception to this rule, and over the course of many years, he guest trained a multitude of clubs. This included: Alcmaria Victrix, AZC (twice), Be Quick, Friesland, Groene Ster, GVAV, Helder (numerous times), Maurits, NOAD (twice), Quick 1888, RFC Roermond (numerous times), VVV, vv Tegelen, WGW, Wilhelm and Willem II. In the 1930s, he headed the Roman Catholic Limburg Football Association, which allowed him to coach clubs of Catholic origin.[3][4]
Julian eventually returned to England, where he continued his coaching career with Barking, Stevenage Town, and through links with British Railway Sports, Wolverton. He also worked under the FA coaching scheme for schools in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Middlesex.[1]
