Pieter Dixon (born 17 October 1977 in Harare, Zimbabwe) is a South African rugby union footballer, who plays hooker for Bath.

After previously playing provincial and Super 12 rugby in South Africa, Dixon signed for Bath for the 2005-06 season. He made an immediate impact when scoring a try in a Powergen Cup game against Bristol. Pieter is said to be a mobile hooker with good set-piece skills. His scrummaging is renowned and his lineout work garnered him praise whilst in South Africa and now in the Guinness Premiership.
