Peter Stoyanovich (born April 28, 1967 in Dearborn Heights, Michigan) was an American football placekicker of Macedonian descent who played with the Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs and briefly the St. Louis Rams in the NFL. He attended college at Indiana University.

Stoyanovich attended Crestwood High School and was a high school All-American in soccer and played on the junior national team at 17. Considered Indiana University's greatest two-sport athlete, he played both football and soccer from 1985-88, sometimes flying from a Friday night soccer match to an IU football game on Saturday, then back for a Sunday soccer match. Ironically, he chose football over soccer in his senior season, missing out on an Indiana soccer national championship. The All-American finished his football career at Indiana as the greatest kicker in the school's history, holding numerous school and Big Ten records. He was a rare NFL-drafted kicker and is statistically considered one of the most accurate NFL kickers between 1989-2000, during his career with Miami, Kansas City and St. Louis. In 1991 with the Dolphins, Stoyanovich kicked an NFL playoff record 58-yard field goal against the Chiefs.
