Peter Brabrook (born 8 November 1937 in Greenwich) is a retired English footballer who played most notably for Chelsea and West Ham United as a winger.

Brabrook started his career at Redbridge Football club, formerly known as Ford United, then moved onto Chelsea, making his debut during the 1954-55 season, during which the club won the league championship, though he only made three appearances. He established himself in the Chelsea first-team in the following years, making 271 appearances and scoring 57 goals. After a dispute with new manager Tommy Docherty, he signed for West Ham in 1962 for £35,000.

At West Ham, Brabrook linked up with the likes of Bobby Moore, Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst, and won the FA Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup with the club in consecutive seasons. He retired from playing after a stint with Orient and later returned to West Ham to take a role at their academy, helping to develop players such as Frank Lampard, Joe Cole and Michael Carrick.

He was thrice capped for England, including a game against the USSR at the 1958 World Cup.
