Pero Janjić (born 27 September 1944) is a Bosnian Croat retired handball player and coach.

As a coach, Janjić won the 1976 European Cup with Borac Banja Luka which is still to this day one of the greatest sporting triumphs of clubs from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Janjić also led Borac Banja Luka to four Yugoslav championships in 1974, 1975, 1976 and 1981. He was hailed as a national hero in Switzerland for securing a historic first qualification of the national team to the 1980 Olympics.
