Bojan Pavlovic is a Canadian author with roots in Bosnia-Hercegovina.

Bojan Pavlovic was born in Sarajevo, former Yugoslavia, in 1979. He immigrated into Canada in 1992. He lives and works in Toronto, Canada.

He has written a number of short story collections and poetry compilations. His works deal with themes of history and historicity, the role of myth in national consciousness, topics of nationalism, of war and of identity. His second novel, Newcomers, Temporaries was published in 2006 to mixed reviews. Pavlovic's work was controversial in that it assumed an overtly predeterministic view of human fate, as influenced by history and nationality.

He has won a number of literary awards, and has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize in 2004 and 2005 for his short-story work.

While his prose and poetry styles vary in genre, some critics have classified him as a member of the small multiculturalist baroque group, mostly due to the fact that he uses a number of cultural contexts and linguistic styles as narrative determinants.
