American philanthropist, nicknamed Dody, and the only granddaughter of Henry Ford. In 2001, Time magazine estimated her net worth at approximately US$416 million.

She was the only daughter and third of four children born to Edsel Ford and his wife Eleanor Lowthian (née Clay) Ford. Her siblings included Henry Ford II, who also served as chairman and CEO of Ford Motors, and William Clay Ford Sr. Her father was the only child of Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motors.

In 1943, she married Walter Buhl Ford II (1920–1991), not a relative, whose family was prominent in the chemical business. They had two sons and two daughters.

Josephine and Walter Ford were major contributors to the College for Creative Studies (a $20 million donation in 1997) and the Detroit Institute of Arts among other institutions. Dody donated Van Gogh's Portrait of the Postman Joseph Roulin, which was valued at $40 million, to the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1996. She also donated large amounts of money for cancer research leading to the formation of the Josephine Ford Cancer Center.
