Peter Falconer (born November 28, 1937) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Geelong and Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Falconer was a Geelong Amateur before making his senior VFL debut in 1958. He had a strong first season and despite missing four games, was Geelong's leading vote getter at the Brownlow Medal. A rover, Falconer was one of the smallest players of his era and also had a good debut season at Carlton. His 30 goals was the second most by a Carlton player that year and he again polled well on Brownlow Medal night, sharing the equal most Carlton votes with Bruce McMaster-Smith. He also appeared in all 20 games that year, including the 1962 VFL Grand Final loss.
