Joel Rundell (September 26, 1965 – August 8, 1990) was an American musician best known as one of the four original members and lead guitarist of the Louisiana-based alternative rock band Better Than Ezra.[1] He and the other original members formed the group while attending Louisiana State University.[1]

Rundell died by suicide on August 8, 1990,[1] nearly a year after the release of the band's first album, Surprise. After his death, the band went on hiatus before reuniting as a trio by the end of 1990.[1]

In 2016, Rundell's family and former drummer Cary Bonnecaze sued the Better Than Ezra, contending that the band did not have the right to re-release the 25th anniversary re-mastered edition of Surprise.[2]
