Joseph Gartshore Kissock (5 June 1893 – 1 September 1959) was a Scottish-born association football player who represented New Zealand at international level.

He played for Vale of Clyde in his native Scotland, before moving to England in 1919 to join Bury. He spent a year with Bristol Rovers during the 1921–22 season, and after a brief spell back in Scotland with Peebles Rovers, he moved to the United States in 1922. He stayed in America for a year, and moved to New Zealand in 1923. Here, he played for Porirua team Hospital.

Kissock made his full All Whites debut in a 1–2 loss to Australia on 9 June 1923 and played two further official internationals that month, beating Australia 3-2 and 4–1. These were to be his only official internationals for New Zealand.

He died in San Francisco in September 1959.
