Peter Freeman (born 1 April 1969) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the St Kilda Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and West Perth Football Club in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).

Playing in a number of positions in both the forward and back lines, Freeman played five games for St Kilda, debuting against Carlton in round 15 of the 1988 season. [1] He also finished runner-up in the club's reserves best and fairest in 1989. He was delisted by St Kilda at the end of the 1991 AFL season, but was subsequently drafted by the West Coast Eagles with the 42nd pick in the 1991 National Draft. [2]

Moving to Perth, Western Australia, Freeman was unable to break into West Coast's line-up, and instead played for West Perth in the WAFL. After being delisted from West Coast at the end of the 1992 season, he remained with West Perth for several seasons, leading the club's goalkicking in 1994. He later returned to Melbourne, where he played for the Frankston Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
