José de Amézola y Aspizua (Basque: José Ametzola Aspizua; 9 Jan 1874–1922) was a Spanish Basque pelotari who competed at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.
Amezola entered in the only official pelota contest in Olympic history, the Basque pelota at the 1900 Summer Olympics two-man teams event.
