Peter Stoyanovich (born April 28, 1967) is an American former professional football player who was a placekicker in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Indiana Hoosiers. Stoyanovich was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the eighth round of the 1989 NFL draft. He played in the NFL with the Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs and briefly the St. Louis Rams.
A first-team All-Pro in 1992, Stoyanovich finished his career in the top 35 in NFL history in all kicking categories. He led the NFL in scoring in 1992. His game-tying 58-yard field goal in a 1991 Wild Card playoff set a record for the longest field goal in NFL playoff history, which has since been tied by Graham Gano in 2018. In a 1997 regular season game versus the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium, Stoyanovich kicked a 54-yard field goal as time expired to beat Denver 24–22.
Stoyanovich served as the kicking double for Sean Young in Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. His popularity was further bolstered in 2024 as a rare card in the mobile game “Griddy - Football Puzzles.”
