Joey Houweling (born 7 April 2000) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for club Telstar.

Utrecht
Houweling was born in Huizen, North Holland, where he started playing youth football for local club SV Huizen, before joining the Utrecht youth academy in 2011. In 2019, he signed his first professional contract; a two-year deal with an option for an additional season. At that point, he had served as backup goalkeeper for the reserve team Jong Utrecht in the second-tier Eerste Divisie.

On 20 January 2020, Houweling made his professional debut for Jong Utrecht in a 2–1 home victory against Roda JC. A few days earlier, he featured in Utrecht's matchday squad for the first time, however remaining benched in the 3–3 draw against PEC Zwolle.

Telstar
In July 2022, Houweling signed with Eerste Divisie club Telstar. Starting the season as the backup to Ronald Koeman Jr., he made his debut for the club on 11 November 2022, after Koeman suffered an injury during practice. He kept a clean sheet in a 0–0 draw against ADO Den Haag. His performance subsequently earned praise from head coach Mike Snoei, who commended him for playing "flawlessly". He played several more games that season, as Koeman was suspended three games in January 2023.

On 29 May 2024, Houweling extended his contract with Telstar by one season, keeping him at the club until 30 June 2025.
