Josip Zemko (born 13 March 1946) is a former Yugoslav football player.

He was one of the best Yugoslav defenders in the 1960s. His goal was to take care of most dangerous players from the opposite team. In 1963, he started playing for the first team and very soon he became a candidate for the Yugoslav national team. He had collected three caps before he broke a leg in 1966. Unfortunately, he has never managed to reach the same level of play he was showing before the injury.

After having coached several clubs in Serbia, he is currently training youth teams at FK Bačka 1901.
