Peter Schofield (born 12 February 1932) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Richmond, Melbourne and North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1950s.
Mentone's Peter Schofield arrived on the VFL scene when he kicked four goals on debut for Richmond and finished the season with 21 goals from just six appearances. He didn't get many opportunities however in the seniors over the next two years, nor did he at Melbourne when he crossed there in 1953.
For the next three seasons, Schofield played with Moorabbin in the Victorian Football Association (VFA). He won his era's version of the Jim 'Frosty' Miller Medal in 1954 when he kicked 96 goals for the year, including a tally of 22 goals in a match against Sandringham.
At North Melbourne, Schofield was used as a full-forward and played in a losing Preliminary Final in 1958. He topped their goal-kicking in 1959 with 47 goals and the following season booted a career high eight in a match against South Melbourne at Arden Street.
