Josip Zemko (13 March 1946 — 11 April 2017) was a former Yugoslav football manager and player.

He was one of the best Yugoslav defenders in the 1960s. 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. He never managed to reach the same level of play he was showing before the injury.

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