Joe Rugolo (born 2 September 1965) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1980s.

Rugolo was a Assumption College recruit and spent three seasons with Melbourne. His brother Frank was on the Melbourne list at the same time but they never got to play a game together.

A ruckman, he played with Sandringham after leaving Melbourne. In 1992, a premiership year, he won a J. J. Liston Trophy, having narrowly missed out on it the previous two seasons. Rugolo finished the year with a Norm Goss Memorial Medal winning performance in the Grand Final win.
