Novo Bojovic (born November 2, 1959) is a Yugoslav-born American former placekicker. Bojovic played college football at Central Michigan before embarking on a career in professional football which lasted nine years.
Bojovic began his career in pro football with the United States Football League's Michigan Panthers in 1983.
