Jose Levy (1884? - October 6, 1936) was the Theatre Practitioner and English Importer of Grand Guignol Theatre.

Levy was born in Portsmouth, England and educated at the Ecole de Commerce, Lausanne. Jose Levy earned his reputation as a theatre practitioner who attempted to import the ghoulish and grisly Grand Guignol aesthetic for London audiences.

In 1920, Levy opened the Grand Guignol theatre in the Little Theatre located in the London's Strand District. Levy's Grand Guignol featured performances by the English stage actress Sybil Thorndike, who would eventually originate the role of Joan of Arc in George Bernard Shaw's St. Joan. During its inaugral season, Levy's company staged such notorious thrillers as Andre de Lorde's The Hand of Death.
