Anthony Peters (born October 24, 1983) is an American soccer player.

Peters attended Baton Rouge Magnet High School and played two years of college soccer at the University of Kentucky, before trying his hand at playing professionally in both Norway and Iceland. Finding opportunities in Europe limited, he returned to college in 2007, playing for West Virginia Wesleyan College, where he was named as the WVIAC Player of the Year and to the NSCAA/Adidas Atlantic Region All-American First Team in 2008.

During his college years he also played with Carolina Dynamo, New Orleans Shell Shockers and Baton Rouge Capitals in the USL Premier Development League, and spent time training with European teams in Iceland and Norway.

In February 2009, Peters signed with the Cleveland City Stars. The team released him from his contract after he received an offer from D.C. United after impressing head coach Tom Soehn during the club's pre-season tour of Puerto Rico. He made his professional debut for DC on April 22, 2009, in the 2009 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup against FC Dallas., before being loaned to the Harrisburg City Islanders of the USL Second Division in April 2009 and later to Richmond Kickers in May 2009.

Peters was waived by D.C. United in June 2009. On July 16, 2009 he was signed by the Cleveland City Stars.
