Jan Ove Pedersen (born 12 November 1968) is a Norwegian football coach and former player.
During his playing career, he turned out for Lillestrøm and Brann of Norway, Cercle Brugge and SW Bregenz of Austria, as well as a loanspell at the English club Hartlepool United.
Despite only making 20 appearances (scoring three goals) whilst on loan from Brann, he would be one of the first names on any supporter's All Time XI for the club.
When SW Bregenz went bankrupt in 2004 and lost their professional license, they turned to Pedersen to coach a hastily assembled squad of amateur players.
On 28 October 2007, just before the winter break, he was fired with SC Bregenz in the relegation zone of the Regional League West.
