Peter Rhoades-Brown (born 2 January 1962 in Hampton, London) is a retired English footballer.

A pacy "old-fashioned" left-winger, Rhoades-Brown played for Chelsea from 1979 to 1983; during his four years with Chelsea, he scored only four League goals. The highlight of his time at the club was scoring the opener in a shock 2-0 FA Cup win over European champions Liverpool in 1982. When Chelsea signed winger Mickey Thomas in January 1984, Rhoades-Brown became surplus to requirements and was sold to Oxford United for £85,000.

He immediately gained a regular place with Oxford, but the problem of accommodating Kevin Brock saw Rhoades-Brown less of a permanent feature in the Second Division Championship side. An untimely injury, ironically against Queen's Park Rangers (Oxford United's Milk Cup Final opponents), at a time when he was playing superbly and gaining the wing spot for the first time in the First Division, robbed him of a Wembley place. He fought back the following season, being particularly popular with sections of the 'Manor' crowd. He stayed with Oxford until 1989, when injury forced his retirement - his last game being at Portsmouth on 8 October 1989. He remains at Oxford United and works as Community Officer for the club.

His Oxford United league record was played 87 times, substitute 25 times - scoring 13 goals. In competitive games, he played 113 times, substitute 29 times scoring 16 goals.

A testimonial match, between an Oxford United XI and a Chelsea XI, was held for him at the Kassam Stadium on 30 April 2007 in front of a crowd of 5,130. Among the players who appeared in the match were Rhoades-Brown's former Oxford team mates Ray Houghton, Joey Beauchamp and ex-England manager Steve McClaren.
