Petar Jovanović ( Serbian: Петар Јовановић, Hungarian: Jovánovics Péter, 1655 – 4 April 1736), known as Pera Segedinac ( Serbian: Пера Сегединац, Hungarian: Szegedinác Péró), was a Habsburg Serb military officer, a captain in Pomorišje. He led a Serb revolt in 1735.

What is known about him is that he was a retired officer in the Serbian Militia stationed at Szeged, hence the name "Segedinac". At the age of 80, Captain Pero joined forces with Hungarian peasants revolting against insufferable conditions in Bekes, Csongrád and Zarand counties in 1735. After the revolt, Pero and several Hungarian rebels were captured, tortured, and executed in Buda the following year.
