Perica Ognjenović (Serbian Cyrillic: Перица Огњеновић; born 24 February 1977) is a Serbian professional football manager and former player who played as a forward or right winger. He is the current manager of Bosnian Premier League club Rudar Prijedor.

At one point considered to be among Serbia's brightest footballing talents, Ognjenović signed with European giants Real Madrid in his early 20s, but never became a regular there, despite winning major titles, eventually going on to have an irregular career in six other countries. He represented FR Yugoslavia at the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
