Fredi Bobic (Slovene: Fredi Bobič) (born October 30, 1971 in Maribor, Slovenia, SFR Yugoslavia) is a now-retired German football player of Slovene and Croat descent.

He was at his prime in mid-1990s at VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. In his first Bundesliga season 1994/95 he scored a goal in each of his first five games, so he became a candidate for the German national football team after only a few appearances in the first German league. In 1996 he was the Bundesliga's top scorer with 17 goals. He had a highly successful loan spell in the English Premiership in 2002 with Bolton Wanderers, playing a key role in keeping Bolton in the Premiership. His hat trick in the 4-1 win against Ipswich at the Reebok Stadium ensured Bolton stayed up, while effectively sending Ipswich down.

He has won 37 caps (10 goals) for Germany and was part of the Euro 96 winning squad. He also played at Euro 2004, having returned to the national team in 2002 after a four year absence. He last played for Croatian outfit NK Rijeka before retiring in early 2006.
