Bojana Popović née Petrović, (born 20 November 1979) is a Montenegrin handball coach and retired handballer. She is the former head coach of ŽRK Budućnost , and also serves as assistant coach of Helle Thomsen for the Danish national team.
She is considered by many to be the best female handball player of the 2000s, despite not being given any official recognition. After winning the Women's EHF Champions League with Budućnost and a silver medal at the 2012 Olympic Games with the Montenegro national team, Bojana Popović decided to retire from handball.
