你可以在视图控制器中做一些事情

override func navigationShouldPopOnBackButton() -> Bool {
    self.backAction() //Your action you want to perform.
    return true
}

完整回答使用 当导航条上的“后退”按钮被按下时进行检测

一种选择是实现您自己的自定义后退按钮。你需要添加以下代码到你的viewDidLoad方法:

    - (void) viewDidLoad {
        [super viewDidLoad];
        self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;
        UIBarButtonItem *newBackButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(back:)];
        self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = newBackButton;
    }

    - (void) back:(UIBarButtonItem *)sender {
        // Perform your custom actions
        // ...
        // Go back to the previous ViewController
        [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    }

更新:

以下是Swift的版本:

        override func viewDidLoad {
            super.viewDidLoad()
            self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
            let newBackButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Back", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Bordered, target: self, action: "back:")
            self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = newBackButton
        }

       @objc func back(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
            // Perform your custom actions
            // ...
            // Go back to the previous ViewController
            self.navigationController?.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
        }

更新2:

以下是Swift 3的版本:

        override func viewDidLoad {
            super.viewDidLoad()
            self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
            let newBackButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Back", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.plain, target: self, action: #selector(YourViewController.back(sender:)))
            self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = newBackButton
        }

       @objc func back(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
            // Perform your custom actions
            // ...
            // Go back to the previous ViewController
            _ = navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
        }

对于Swift 5，我们可以检查它在视图中是否会消失

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

    if self.isMovingFromParent {
        delegate?.passValue(clickedImage: selectedImage)
    }
}

在我的例子中，viewWillDisappear效果最好。但在某些情况下，必须修改之前的视图控制器。所以这是我的解决方案访问之前的视图控制器，它在Swift 4中工作:

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
        if isMovingFromParentViewController {
            if let viewControllers = self.navigationController?.viewControllers {
                if (viewControllers.count >= 1) {
                    let previousViewController = viewControllers[viewControllers.count-1] as! NameOfDestinationViewController
                    // whatever you want to do
                    previousViewController.callOrModifySomething()
                }
            }
        }
    }

将按钮替换为另一个答案中建议的自定义按钮可能不是一个好主意，因为您将失去默认的行为和样式。

另一个选择是在视图控制器上实现viewWillDisappear方法，并检查名为isMovingFromParentViewController的属性。如果那个属性为真，它意味着视图控制器正在消失，因为它正在被移除(弹出)。

应该是这样的:

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

    if self.isMovingFromParentViewController {
        // Your code...
    }
}

在swift 4.2中

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

    if self.isMovingFromParent {
        // Your code...
    }
}

我的偏好是在导航控制器中覆盖popViewController。这样做的好处是:

你的应用程序保持默认的后退按钮外观和动画，你不需要管理它。如果用户在手机上设置了大号文本，这尤其有用，因为默认的后退按钮会根据用户的设置增加或减少大小。 你可以完全停止视图弹出，不像使用viewWillDisappear。

首先，创建一个自定义导航控制器类(并确保将其分配给故事板中的导航控制器或任何创建导航控制器的地方):

class NavControllerWithBackButtonOverride: UINavigationController {

    var backButtonOverride: (() -> Void)? = nil

    override func popViewController(animated: Bool) -> UIViewController? {

        if backButtonOverride != nil {
            //if anything is assigned to the backButtonOverride the override will run
            self.backButtonOverride!()
            return nil
        } else {
            //otherwise the default popViewController will run
            return super.popViewController(animated: animated)
        }
    }
}

然后通过给backButtonOverride变量赋值，在视图控制器中启用/禁用重载:

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    self.enableCustomBackButton()
}

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
    self.disableCustomBackButton()
}

/**
 Custom Back Button
 */

func customBackButtonAction() {
    print("DO THIS INSTEAD")
}

func enableCustomBackButton() {
    if let nav = self.navigationController as? NavControllerWithBackButtonOverride {
        nav.backButtonOverride = { self.customBackButtonAction() }
        nav.interactivePopGestureRecognizer?.isEnabled = false
    }    
}

func disableCustomBackButton() {
    if let nav = self.navigationController as? NavControllerWithBackButtonOverride {
    nav.backButtonOverride = nil
    nav.interactivePopGestureRecognizer?.isEnabled = true
    }
}

注意:我还禁用了interactivePopGestureRecognizer，因为它会导致自定义设置的问题。
