Bogić Bogičević is a Bosnian statesman of Serbian ethnicity. He was the first office-holder in Second Yugoslavia at the federal level to be democratically elected; as the representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Presidency of Yugoslavia during the late 1980s to 1991.

Bogičević is famous for having defied fellow Serb collegues in Serbia on a vote of the presidency which would have imposed martial law in Yugoslavia and allow the Yugoslav army to remove recently elected secessionist governments, particularly in Croatia. Bogićević rejected the proposal, and thus by one vote, the Yugoslav collective presidency voted against enacting martial law.

Today, Bogičević is the vice-president of the Social Democratic Party of Bosnia, and chairman of the Bosnian Olympic Committee.
