Peterson dos Santos Peçanha (born 11 January 1980 in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilan footballer who plays for C.S. Marítimo in Portugal, as a goalkeeper.
Peçanha began his career with national giants Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, but did not make any official appearances for the team. In 2001, he signed for Bangu Atlético Clube, again failing to have an impact, and subsequently moved on to América Football Club, also in Rio de Janeiro.
In the next three years, Peçanha played for three modest teams: Novo Horizonte FC, Paui FC and São Raimundo Esporte Clube (AM). In 2005, he was bought by F.C. Paços de Ferreira, initially as a backup to youth product Pedro. He made his first division debut for the team against C.D. Nacional, in a 0–1 away loss on 21 August 2005.
After impressive performances for the northern club, Peçanha eventually became first-choice. In the 2006–07 season, he did not miss one minute of action as the club finished in sixth position, qualifying for the UEFA Cup. He continued to start for the duration of his spell.
In July 2008, Peçanha changed countries again, joining Greek club Thrasyvoulos FC. After only one season, which ended in relegation, he returned to Portugal, with C.S. Marítimo in Madeira.
On 16 August 2009, Peçanha made his official Marítimo debut, at S.L. Benfica, in the season opener. He earned himself the Man of the Match award in that game, notably saving a penalty from Paraguayan Óscar Cardozo, in a 1–1 draw. Marítimo finished in fifth position and qualified for European competition.
