Joe Kuzminsky (born January 26, 1994) is an American former professional soccer player who played as a goalkeeper.

In January 2020, Kuzminsky was sent on a season-long loan to Maccabi Haifa of the Israeli Premier League.[4]
Kuzminsky entered the 2022 season as the longest-tenured player on the Battery, his sixth year with the team.[5] He played his 100th overall game for the club on April 23, 2022, against Louisville City FC, a 1–1 draw at home.[6] Kuzminsky also scored the fire goal of his career during the 2022 season, finding the back of the net in stoppage time against Loudoun United FC in a successful last-ditch effort to earn a 1–1 draw at the death.[7] Following the 2022 season, Kuzminsky was released by Charleston.[8]
