Peter Whittingham (born September 8, 1984 in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England) is an English footballer and left-sided midfielder. He is currently playing for Cardiff City F.C. after being on loan to Derby County F.C. from Aston Villa F.C.

He made his debut on April 21, 2003 against Newcastle United F.C., a second-half substitution for Gareth Barry, and made an immediate impact, seeing a powerful shot pushed over the bar by Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given, which earned plaudits from his team-mates.

Part of the FA Youth Cup winning side of 2002, Whittingham signed a professional contract in October 2002, due to expire in 2006. He made 32 appearances in his first full season at the club, season 2003/4, scoring his first goal against Wycombe Wanderers F.C. in the League Cup on September 23, 2003.

His form inspired then Villa manager, David O'Leary to sign him until 2007.

He has also played for England U21's and scored twice in their match against Wales in September 2005.

Peter Whittingham attended school at King Henry VIII, Coventry.
