Ognjen "Olja" Petrović (Serbian Cyrillic: Огњен Оља Петровић; 2 January 1948 – 21 September 2000) was a Serbian professional goalkeeper who played at Euro 76 for Yugoslavia.[1]

A native of Kruševac, Petrović totalled 259 games for Red Star Belgrade scoring three goals in 115 league games. He also played for French side Bastia alongside Yugoslav star Dragan Džajić and retired at 30 due to injury.[2]

He is the only goalkeeper to score twice in a European match against Real Madrid, when he netted once in normal time and once more in the penalty shoot-out during a 1974–75 European Cup Winners' Cup quarter final match. He also saved a penalty to put Red Star through.[3]
