Peter Marker is a former Australian rules footballer who played with and captained Glenelg in the SANFL during the late 1960s and 1970s.
Mostly playing as a centreman or across half forward, Marker started his career at Glenelg in 1967. He won their 'Best and fairest' award in 1971, his first year as captain. Marker remained Glenelg's captain until the end of the 1977 season in a stint which included the 1973 SANFL premiership. Although he never won a Magarey Medal he finished a single vote shy in both 1971 and 1975.
Marker was a regular South Australian football representative and captained them in 10 of his 15 interstate games. He featured in the 1969 Adelaide Carnival, the 1972 Perth Carnival and the 1975 Knockout Carnival, the last two as captain.
In 2002 he was one of the inaugural inductees into the South Australian Football Hall of Fame.
