Tarmo Neemelo (born 10 February 1982) is an Estonian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Estonian Meistriliiga club Nõmme Kalju and the Estonia national team.
Neemelo was the top goalscorer in the 2005 Meistriliiga with 41 goals, and won the Estonian Silverball award in 2006.
Neemelo started playing football with Lelle. He then spent several years playing for various reserve and feeder teams affiliated with Flora.
In 2004, he signed for Meistriliiga club TVMK. In the 2005 season, he won his first Meistriliiga title, scoring a league record 41 goals, which put him in 12th place in the European Golden Shoe.
In 2006, he signed for Swedish Allsvenskan club Helsingborg, to potentially partner fellow striker Henrik Larsson. However, Neemelo was unable to secure a first-team position and was loaned back to TVMK. In 2007, he was once again loaned out, this time to Superettan club Sundsvall.
In February 2008, he signed a two-year contract with Finnish Veikkausliiga club MYPA.
In January 2009, he signed for Belgian club Zulte Waregem. He was mostly used as a substitute, being a part of the starting line-up just twice. He was released by Zulte Waregem officials in July 2009 by mutual consent.
