Peter James Murphy (born 13 February 1990 in Liverpool) is an English professional footballer who plays for Wycombe Wanderers primarily as a midfielder but is also a capable defender.

Murphy joined Stanley as a 16-year-old.[3] Towards the end of the 2007–08 season, he spent a few weeks on loan at Northern Premier League club Prescot Cables to gain experience, and signed his first professional contract with Stanley on his return from loan, in April 2008.[4][5] He made his debut for Stanley on 26 April, in the Football League Two clash with Wrexham which ended as a 3–1 win. He signed a new contract in May 2010[6] and again in 2012.[1] He then signed for Wycombe Wanderers in 2014 on a free transfer. He opened the scoring for Wycombe on his debut, as they beat Newport County 2-0.[7]
