Tarmo Neemelo (born 10 February 1982) is an Estonian retired professional footballer who last played as a forward for Meistriliiga club Paide Linnameeskond.
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 Helsingborgs IF, 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 GIF Sundsvall.
In February 2008, he signed a two-year contract with Finnish Veikkausliiga club MYPA.
In January 2009, he signed for Belgian side 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 in July 2009 by mutual consent.
In 2009, Neemelo returned to Estonia and signed with Levadia. He won his second Meistriliiga title in the 2009 season.
Neemelo's contract with Levadia ran out after the 2010 season. On 7 February 2011, Neemelo signed a two-year contract with Nõmme Kalju.[1] He was the team's top goalscorer in the league in 2011 and 2012 with 22 goals in both seasons.[2] Neemelo won his third Meistriliiga title in the 2012 season.
Neemelo made his international debut for Estonia on 20 April 2005, against Norway in a friendly. He scored his first goal for the national team on 28 May 2006, in a friendly match against Turkey. The goal won him the Estonian Silverball award.
