Peter Alexander Stringer (born 13 December 1977) is an Irish rugby union footballer who plays at scrum half for Munster and Ireland. He is one of the most recognisable players in world rugby as Stringer is one of the smallest players at 5 ft 7 inches (170 cm) tall and weighing in at just over 70kgs (152lbs).

In February 2000, he made his debut for Ireland against Scotland in the Six Nations Championship. Since then, as of 2006, he has appeared in 66 out of Ireland's last 70 Matches. He is known for his ability to take down larger players, especially with one handed "tap tackles" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4PGZfloohQ] .

In February 2006 he scored a definitive [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/international/4747860.stm ] Ireland 31-5 Wales, BBC Sport] try for Ireland against Wales in the Six Nations Championship, when Ireland beat Wales 31-5.
