Niko Datković is a Croatian football player currently playing for Spezia Calcio in Italy's Serie B.

Regarded as one of the club's greatest talents, Datković has become a regular starter in Rijeka's defense during his first professional year with the club during the 2011-12 Prva HNL season. He has also had three caps for Croatia's Under-19 side. In early 2014, Rijeka loaned Datković to Spezia until the end of the season.
