Joseph Crackstone is the overarching antagonist in Tim Burton's Netflix series Wednesday. He is the ancestor of the Gates family and a puritan who despises outcasts and wants to wipe them all out from Jericho. He accused Wednesday Addams's ancestor, Goody Addams, of witchcraft and was killed by Goody by being locked in a coffin.

He is portrayed by William Houston.

The inspiration for Crackstone seemingly appears to be the combination of the lives of real life Colonist Roger Conant (who founded Salem, similarly to Crackstone with Jericho) and Witch Finder General Matthew Hopkins.
