Peter Christopher Bourjos (born March 31, 1987) is an American professional baseball outfielder in the Chicago White Sox organization. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies.

The Angels selected him in the tenth round of the 2005 amateur draft from Notre Dame Preparatory High School in Scottsdale, Arizona. He made his MLB debut for the Angels in 2010. The Cardinals obtained him in a trade with the Angels after the 2013 season. Bourjos has gained considerable attention for his defensive skills, including his range, speed and ability to make what are deemed difficult catches.

Bourjos attended Desert Mountain High School for his freshman year later and transferred to Notre Dame Preparatory High School in Scottsdale, Arizona. He also played football at Notre Dame High as wide receiver and kickoff returner.

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim selected Bourjos in the 10th round of the 2005 Major League Baseball draft, signing him on August 18, 2005. In 2008, Bourjos registered 50 stolen bases (SB) and a .295 batting average (AVG) with the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes.
