Peter Laurence Taylor (born August 22, 1956, North Sydney, New South Wales) is a former Australian cricketer who played in 13 Tests and 83 ODIs from 1987 to 1992.

His initial selection in 1987 was so shocking that the media quickly dubbed him Peter Who?, and he became something of a celebrity leading up to his debut match.
