Jurica Pavičić (born 2 November 1965 in Split) is a writer, columnist and film critic.

Pavičić's screenplay for Witnesses (Svjedoci), Vinko Brešan's 2003 film, won the Golden Arena for Best Screenplay in the 2003 Pula Film Festival. The screenplay, co-written with Živko Zalar, is based on Pavičić's debut novel Alabaster Sheep (Ovce od gipsa). His novels and short story collections have been translated to English, German, Italian, French and Bulgarian.[1]

Pavičić was, with Nenad Polimac, one of two Croatian film critics who participated in the British Film Institute's Sight & Sound Greatest Films of All Time poll in 2012.[2]

In 2014, Pavičić received the Croatian Journalists' Association's Journalist of the Year Award.[3]
