Peter Walter Edward Rawson (born May 25, 1957 in Salisbury, Rhodesia) is a former Zimbabwean cricketer. He played ten ODIs for Zimbabwe between 1983 and 1987.

An opening bowler and useful lower-order batsman, Rawson represented Zimbabwe at the Cricket World Cup in 1983 and 1987-88. In 1983 he took early wickets in the matches against India and West Indies that in each case briefly put Zimbabwe in a strong position.[1]

In 1984 he played for Rishton in the Lancashire League, taking 102 wickets at 14.08 and scoring 539 runs at 22.46,[2] and also played Minor Counties cricket for Suffolk.

He left Zimbabwe in 1989 and played the rest of his career with Natal in South Africa, retiring after the 1994-95 season.

His highest first-class score was 95 for Natal against Transvaal in 1989-90.[3] His best innings bowling figures were 7 for 30 for Zimbabwe against the touring Lancashire team in 1988-89.[4] His best match figures were 13 for 143 (7 for 55 and 6 for 88) for Zimbabwe against Young Australia in 1982-83.[5] In 1983-84 he bowled unchanged throughout the match to take 4 for 70 and 7 for 49 to help Zimbabwe to a two-wicket victory over Young India.[6]

He is now the Sales and Marketing Director at Trellidor, a home security company in Durban.[7]
