Peter Noel Kirsten (born May 14, 1955, Pietermaritzburg, Natal) is a former South African cricketer who played in 12 Tests and 40 ODIs from 1991 to 1994.
He made his Test debut at the late age of 36 due to South Africa's ban on international cricket during the 1970s and 80s. Despite being well past his destructive best as a number 3 batsman, he still managed to post his one and only Test Century at the age of 38. Which showed despite his age, he could still cut the mustard on the international stage.
His is the older half-brother of former South Africa opener Gary Kirsten.
