Péter Biros (born 5 April 1976 in Miskolc) is a Hungarian water polo player, who played on the gold medal squads at the 2000 Summer Olympics,2004 Summer Olympics and 2008 Summer Olympics, which makes him one of few water polo players who have three olympic gold medals. He also competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

He is nicknamed Fácán, meaning 'pheasant', and made his debut for the national side in 1997, during an international tournament in Seville, Spain. He's 1.94m tall and weighs 94 kg.

After the 2008 Olympics final, Biros revealed that he performed the entire tournament with a cyst by his heart, something that was unknown to the entire team and coaches alike. He insisted that he played with the consent of his doctors, and received a Fair Play award afterwards for it. He was flag bearer for Hungary at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
