'''Javad Kazemian''' ({{langx|fa|جواد كاظميان}}; born 23 April 1981 in [[Kashan]], [[Iran]]) is an Iranian former [[association football|football]] [[Midfielder#Winger|winger]]. He is commonly mistaken for a striker as he is frequently involved in running towards the opposing box, but his preferred position is a right winger.

==Club career==
He started with the youth team of [[Saipa (football)|Saipa]] and was able to make it to the senior team. There he showed some great performances and was called up to the [[Iran national football team|Iranian national team]] when [[Miroslav Blažević]] was Iran's manager. He joined [[Al-Ahli (Dubai)|Al-Ahli]] of [[United Arab Emirates|UAE]] in 2002 with $300'000 deal,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tebyan.net/index.aspx?pid=763|title=جواد كاظمیان به …|date=22 November 2015|work=tebyan.net}}</ref> playing alongside [[Ali Karimi]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tebyan.net/index.aspx?pid=770|title=ویژه باشگاههای آسیا در دور برگشت|date=22 November 2015|work=tebyan.net}}</ref> but returned to Iran after a few months, briefly playing for Saipa again, and then three seasons with [[Persepolis FC]].

After [[2006 FIFA World Cup|World Cup 2006]], he signed a one-year loan deal with Emirati club [[Al-Shaab (UAE)|Al-Shaab]] with the option to sign a permanent contract with the club after a year,<ref>{{cite web|script-title=fa:جواد كاظميان به تيم فوتبال الشعب امارات پيوست |url=http://www.isna.ir/Main/NewsView.aspx?ID=News-764877&Lang=P |publisher=[[Iranian Students' News Agency|ISNA]] |access-date=4 August 2006 |language=fa |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090811022244/http://www.isna.ir/Main/NewsView.aspx?ID=News-764877&Lang=P |archive-date=11 August 2009 }}</ref> but then signed a season-long contract with [[Al-Shabab (United Arab Emirates)|Al-Shabab]] club in the end of the league in 2007–2008 season.

In 2008, he went on loan to [[Ajman]] football club, following a series of poor performances with [[Al-Shabab (United Arab Emirates)|Al-Shabab]]. He had another average season with 17 matches and scoring just 6 goals for the club. He parted ways with Ajman in 2010, following two poor seasons with the club.
In 2010, he signed with [[Dubai]] club [[Emirates Club|Emirates]], avoiding a return to Iran.

He finally returned to Iran in 2010 and signed for [[Sepahan F.C.|Sepahan]] and won the league.

On 23 July 2011, despite rumors circulating that he has joined [[Foolad F.C.|Foolad]], he signed a contract with [[Persepolis F.C.|Persepolis]] and joined his beloved club.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9005011508|title=در آخرين ساعت فصل نقل و انتقالات|agency=Fars News Agency|access-date=23 July 2011|archive-date=3 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303213400/http://www.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9005011508|url-status=dead}}</ref> He extended his contract with [[Persepolis F.C.|Persepolis]] for one year, keeping him with the team through 2013, but his contract was terminated on 18 December 2012.<ref>[http://fc-perspolis.com/1391/%D8%AE%D8%B1%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AF/17/%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AF-%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B8%D9%85%DB%8C%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%A8%D9%87-%D8%AB%D8%A8%D8%AA-%D8%B1%D8%B3%DB%8C%D8%AF.aspx Kazemian extended contract with Persepolis] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120616034412/http://www.fc-perspolis.com/1391/%D8%AE%D8%B1%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AF/17/%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AF-%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B8%D9%85%DB%8C%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%A8%D9%87-%D8%AB%D8%A8%D8%AA-%D8%B1%D8%B3%DB%8C%D8%AF.aspx |date=16 June 2012 }}</ref> At the end of the year, he joined [[Tractor S.C.|Tractor]] where he made a good partnership with [[Mehdi Seyed Salehi]] and finished second in the league.
