Joseph Anthony "Fud" Livingston (April 10, 1906 – March 25, 1957) was an American jazz musician renowned for his work as a clarinetist, saxophonist, arranger, and composer. Born in Charleston, Livingston began his musical journey playing accordion and piano before transitioning to reed instruments like the saxophone and clarinet. He briefly attended The Citadel in Charleston and followed his brother Walter into the jazz and dance band scene.

In the 1920s, Livingston performed with notable bands and musicians, including Ben Pollack, the California Ramblers, and Jean Goldkette. He was a member of Benny Goodman's group, Benny Goodman's Boys, and played on the 1928 recording of "Room 1411." His career took him to London in 1929, where he worked with Fred Elizalde at the Savoy Hotel, before returning to New York City to record with the Frank Trumbauer Orchestra and Paul Whiteman's Orchestra.

Livingston was a prolific arranger and worked with several big bands in New York, including those of Nat Shilkret, Don Voorhees, and Jan Garber. He collaborated with Matty Malneck and Gus Kahn to compose the jazz standard "I'm Thru with Love" in 1931. Throughout the 1930s, he worked with Benny Goodman, Jimmy Dorsey, and others, contributing both as a performer and arranger.

In the 1940s, Livingston moved to Hollywood to work on movie and radio arrangements. He composed numerous pieces, including "Feelin' No Pain," "Humpty Dumpty," and "Harlem Twist." His collaborations with Robert S. Cathcart, Jr. resulted in ballads like "Easter Bells" and "Springtime in Charleston," reflecting his South Carolina roots.

Despite his significant contributions to jazz, Livingston never recorded as a band leader. He spent his later years performing occasionally in New York City bars and passed away on March 25, 1957. His legacy endures through his compositions and recordings with various jazz ensembles.
