Suzana Perović (Сузана Перовић) is a Serbian singer.

Perović started her career in the early 1980s, as member of an elready established pop girl group Aska, alongside Snežana Mišković, Izolda Barudžija and Snežana Stamenković.

Aska came to prominence when they were chosen to represent Yugoslavia at the 1982 Eurovision Song Contest, where their song "Halo, halo", although ranked 14th, went down in history as the first Yugoslav song to be awarded 12 points by a fellow participating country.

Snežana Stamenković retired shortly afterwards and was replaced by Suzana Perović.

The girls went on to recorded several albums before disbanding in order to pursue solo careers. Snežana Mišković remained in pop and went on to have an established career with her band Viktorija. Izolda Barudžija's career faded away after two additional attempts at the Eurovision Song Contest (in 1984 and 1985).

Suzana Perović switched to more commercial folk music and released three semi-successful albums before she vanished from the music scene. The albums featured hits "Pobediće ljubav", "Dežurna pesma", "Istanbul", however, her most remembered songs were "Princ iz bajke" and "Zašto ljubomoran nisi", recorded in 1987 for the follow-up to the ground-breaking Serbian comedy "Tesna koža" (which helped launch the career of the Yugoslav folk icon of the 80s, Lepa Brena), in which Perović appeared as a singer named Suzi.
