Davorin Popović (23 September 1946 – 18 June 2001) was a Bosnian singer and songwriter. Born in Sarajevo and well known throughout the former Yugoslavia, he is considered to be one of the greatest rock singers of the region.

Popović was the lead singer and frontman of the progressive and pop rock band Indexi throughout most of their career.
