Peter Ryan (born 23 March, 1971) is an Australian former rugby league and rugby union footballer.

After represnting Australia in rugby union as a schoolboy and playing for the Brisbane Rugby League premiership's Western Suburbs team, Ryan moved to the Broncos in 1990. A handy utility forward, in 1997 he debuted for Queensland and was named the Bronco's player of the year in a premiership-winning season.

At the end of 1999, Ryan left the Broncos to play rugby union with the ACT Brumbies. Ryan was the first Player in history to play in and win grand finals in the NRL and the Super 12 as it was known then.

During his time in league and union he was known as one of the hardest hitting defenders ever to play.
