Fredi Bobic (born October 30, 1971 in Maribor, Slovenia) is a German football striker, who 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 appereances in the first German league. In 1996 he was the Bundesliga's top scorer with 17 goals. He had a successful loan spell in the English Premiership in 2002 with Bolton Wanderers but did not take up the offer of a longer term deal.

He has won 37 caps (10 goals) for the 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 2006.
