Peter Graham Waterfield (born March 12, 1981) is a British diver. His specialism is the 10 metre platform event, both as solo competitor and with his partner Leon Taylor.
Despite their noticeable height difference (Peter is only 5' 6", Leon is almost 5' 11") in a discipline normally requiring as much uniformity as possible, they have invariably turned in strong synchronised performances. In the diving events at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, they won the Silver medal in the men's synchronised 10 metre platform- Britain's first Olympic diving medal since Brian Phelps in 1960. They had come fourth in the same competition in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.
In the 2002 Commonwealth Games held in Manchester, Waterfield's best solo showing to date came when won the 10 metre Gold medal.
He lives in Southampton where he is a member of the diving club there and is coached by Lindsey Fraser.
