Iván Petrovich (Serbian Cyrillic: Иван Петровић) (1 January 1894, Novi Sad, Serbia - 18 October 1962, Munich, Germany) was a silent-and-sound motion picture Serbian actor.

Born Svetislav Petrovic (Serbian Cyrillic: Светислав Петровић), (also spelled Swetislaw, Iwan or Jwan) he entered film business at the end of World War I. To his early work belongs Die Dame mit den Sonnenblumen, Homo immanis and Der Stern von Damaskus. He lived and worked in Berlin after World War I.

Thanks to his singing talent, Petrovich made a successful transition into talking pictures. To his well-known movies of this time belong Die Fledermaus, Der Feldherrnhügel, and Die Nacht der Entscheidung.
