Emilio Ogñénovich (January 25, 1923 – January 29, 2011) was the Catholic bishop of the Archdiocese of Mercedes-Luján, Argentina. Ogñénovich was born to a father from Cetinje and a mother "from Zadar or Split"; they both died when he was ten years old.[1] Ordained to the priesthood in 1949, Ogñénovich was named in bishop in 1979 retiring in 2000.[2] He died in 2011, four days after his 88th birthday.

On 27 June 1992 he was co-consecrator of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, later Pope Francis, as bishop.[3]
