Peter Douglas Moore (born 24 March 1948) is an Australian former international rugby union player.

Moore was educated at Brisbane's St Columban's College, where had two seasons as a back in the 1st XV, while also captaining the school in athletics, excelling as a sprinter.[1]

A three-quarter, Moore made his first grade debut with Brothers in 1968 and the following year broke into the Queensland state side, with their match against New South Wales serving as a trial for the upcoming Wallabies tour of South Africa. He performed well enough to earn selection as one of four wingers in the touring squad.[2] Over the course of the tour, Moore made 10 uncapped appearances, but was unable to force his way into the XV against the Springboks.[1][3]

Moore crossed to rugby league in 1971 and played for Souths.[1]
