Peter Ndlovu (born February 25, 1973 in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe) is a football striker.

He played for the English clubs Coventry City, Birmingham City, Huddersfield Town, and Sheffield United before signing for South African Premier Soccer League outfit Mamelodi Sundowns during the 2004 off-season.

Ndlovu is remembered as a quick and skilful winger, perhaps one of the most popular and talented footballers to play at Coventry's Highfield Rd ground. Ndlovu also enjoyed success at Sheffield United and was known to their fans as 'Nuddy'. With him playing on the right side of midfield, Sheffield United managed to get to two semi-finals of major cup competitions, in addition to the final of the Championship (formerly Division 1) play-offs, in the 2002-03 season.

Ndlovu is the all-time leading scorer for the Zimbabwean national team. He also led his nation to qualification for their first African Cup of Nations, held in 2004 in Tunisia, as well as their second appearance at the 2006 tournament in Egypt.

Ndlovu's brothers, Adam and Madinda, were also international players. The brothers played on the streets of Makokoba, Zimbabwe, where they grew up. Peter also played in both his primary and secondary schools and his hometown team Highlanders before joining Coventry in 1991.
