Iiro Tarkki (born July 1, 1985) is a Finnish retired professional ice hockey goaltender. His final team was Oulun Kärpät of the Finnish Liiga. He is the younger brother of goaltender Tuomas Tarkki.
He has previously played for the Espoo Blues. On May 6, 2011, Tarkki signed a one-year entry-level contract with the Anaheim Ducks.
Tarkki made his NHL debut for the Ducks on January 8, 2012, against the Columbus Blue Jackets, after primary goaltender Jonas Hiller was injured late in the first period. He led the Ducks to a 7–4 victory and racked up his first career NHL win.
