Peter Philip Harris is a former association football (soccer) player. He was born on 19 December 1925 in Portsmouth, England and died in 2003.

Harris is notable for his career with Portsmouth F.C.. He played a crucial role in Pompey's championship-winning teams as an out and out right-winger with an instinctive goalscoring touch. The speed of a top sprinter allied to his great opportunism made him a prolific goalscorer with 193 league goals in a 14-year career at Fratton Park which made him Pompey's all-time record goalscorer. Only the competition from Stanley Matthews and Tom Finney prevented Peter earning more than two caps for the England national football team.
