Janko Janković (born 14 January 1963 in Split) ia a Croatian retired footballer who played as a forward.
After playing in his country with NK Solin, HNK Hajduk Split (only two matches in one full season), RNK Split and HNK Rijeka, 25-year-old Janković moved to Spain, where he would remain for nearly one full decade until his retirement.
He started at Real Valladolid, after signing at the same time as compatriot Mauro Ravnić – his teammate at Rijeka – and was an essential attacking element in his first year, as the Castile and León club finished sixth in La Liga and reached the final of the Copa del Rey.
After another year, Janković signed with Real Oviedo, teaming up with another two Croatians, Nenad Gračan and Nikola Jerkan. With the Asturians he left much of the offensive burden to veteran striker Carlos, only scoring once in double digits but never suffering relegation during his five-year spell, and helping with three goals in 33 games in his debut campaign as the team qualified for the UEFA Cup.
