Pano Boyadzhidraganov, known by the nickname Agopa or as Pano Mitev Draganov, was a Bulgarian national revolutionary born around the middle of the 19th century in Lovech. He came from a craftsman's family distinguished by its strong patriotism.
He studied in his hometown and began earning his living as a craftsman after leaving school. Soon afterwards, he became actively involved in the organised national liberation struggle. He was a founding and active member of the Lovech Local Revolutionary Committee and enjoyed the trust of Angel Kanchev, the well-known leader of the Bulgarian uprising. For a period of three months in 1871–1872, he and his wife Getsa hosted committee members in their home, where meetings and training for armed struggle took place.
His brothers also participated in the revolutionary struggle. Danail Boyadzhidraganov belonged to Hristo Botev's detachment and died in the Battle of Milin Kamak. Anastas Boyadzhidraganov joined the Bulgarian Volunteer Corps during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878.
