Joan Hamburg (born August 12, 1935) is a radio personality on WOR, 710 AM, in New York since the early 1970s. She grew up on Long Island and attended Barnard College before embarking on an advertising career. Hamburg started her radio broadcasting with small consumer (bargain shopping) segments on the long-running Rambling With Gambling morning show, eventually earning her own show. Hamburg is extremely celebrity, society, and show-business-conscious, and is now billed as New York Radios First Lady.

Hamburg still takes consumer questions and gives listeners advice about restaurants, events, and the like. The highlights from Hamburg’s daily show are put together for a two-hour nationally syndicated weekend show, distributed by the WOR Radio Network.
