Mouritius "Maurice" Prosper Peeters (May 5, 1882 – December 6, 1957) was a track cyclist from the Netherlands, who represented his country at the two consecutive Summer Olympics (1920 and 1924).
He was born in Antwerp, Belgium, but was raised in The Hague. He died in nearby Leidschendam.
After having won the gold medal at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp (1000 m sprint), he captured the bronze medal four years later in the 2000 m tandem competition, alongside Gerard Bosch van Drakestein.
