Bob Peeters (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈbɔˈpeː.tərs]) (born 10 January 1974 in Lier) is a former football striker and currently manager of Waasland-Beveren.

He became Gent-coach one week after being released by Cercle Brugge in October 2012 but was fired in January 2013. As a striker, Peeters was notorious for his height (1.96 m). Born in Belgium, he started his professional career for Lierse S.K. in the 1992-1993 season. After five years he moved to Dutch club Roda JC, who sold him in 2000 to Vitesse Arnhem. After three years Peeters was transferred to Millwall F.C.. In 2005 he moved back to Belgium, playing for K.R.C. Genk (2005–2006) and Lierse S.K. (2006–2008).

During the 2000 UEFA European Football Championship, during which he was injured, he was a journalist who interviewed people for television. He participated in the World Cup 2002 qualifying campaign but did not make the final squad for Korea - Japan. At 28 February 2001, he made a hattrick against San Marino in the Stade Roi Baudouin.
