Šefik Džaferović N.Pk (born 9 September 1957) is a Bosnian politician who served as the 7th Bosniak member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 2018 to 2022. He has been serving as member of the national House of Peoples since 2023. A high-ranking member of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA), he was formerly its vice president and general secretary.

Džaferović graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Sarajevo in 1979. Before entering politics, he worked in judicial institutions. Having joined the SDA following its formation in 1990, Džaferović was appointed member of the Federal House of Peoples in 1996. In 2001, he became a member of the national House of Peoples. In the 2002 general election, Džaferović was elected to the national House of Representatives, and served as its member until 2018.

From 2018 until 2022, Džaferović served in the Bosnian Presidency as its Bosniak member, having been elected in the 2018 general election by a narrow margin. Choosing not to seek re-election in the 2022 general election, he once again became a member of the national House of Peoples in February 2023.
