'''Hristo Georgiev Yovov''' ({{lang-bg|Христо Георгиев Йовов}}); (born 4 November 1977) is a Bulgarian former professional [[association football|footballer]] who played as an [[attacking midfielder]]. He spent all of his club career in his native Bulgaria with the exception of his three shorter stays abroad with German club [[TSV 1860 Munich|1860 Munich]] and Cypriot sides [[Aris Limassol F.C.|Aris Limassol]] and [[Apollon Limassol]]. He made 29 appearances scoring 5 goals for the [[Bulgarian national football team|Bulgaria national team]] between 1998 and 2007.

After playing little in one season and a half, he returned to Bulgaria joining [[PFC Lokomotiv Sofia|Lokomotiv Sofia]] on loan for the second half of the 1998–99 season. He signed with [[PFC Litex Lovech|Litex Lovech]] where he scored 47 goals in 96 matches over four-and-a-half seasons. Halfway through the 2004–05 season he began a second, three-year stint at Levski Sofia. He spent the second half of the 2007–08 season and the first half of the 2008–09 seasons in Cyprus, with Aris Limassol and Apollon Limassol. In 2009 he returned to Levski Sofia once more playing three-and-a-half seasons before retiring in summer 2013.
