Józef Hebda, who lived from 7 October 1906 to 23 September 1975, was a Polish tennis player who was active in the 1930s and 1940s. According to the article about him he took up tennis seriously only at quite an advanced age, after the age of twenty. He won the Polish international championships in 1932, beating Ignacy Tłoczyński in the final, and took the title again in 1937 and in 1939, each time against Tłoczyński in the final. In 1933 he played at the French championships, where he beat the Australian Vivian McGrath. A report quoted in the article describes him as a steady baseliner with fine passing shots who drew opponents into the net and then steered the ball safely past them.
