Peter Thomas Fenwicke (1932 - 1987) was an Australian national representative rugby union flanker and national captain. He toured with the Wallabies on the 1957–58 Australia rugby union tour of Britain, Ireland and France.

Fenwicke was born in Walcha, New South Wales and attended primary school there. After making a success of schoolboy rugby at The King's School, Parramatta, Peter Fenwicke returned to Walcha in country New South Wales and at 17 in 1951, he was made captain of the Walcha Rugby Club, a position he held until his retirement in 1963. He was selected in a regional New England side who met the touring All Blacks in 1951 and he later captained the New England side in 1954 when they hosted the visiting Fijian national side. Fenwicke was a goal-kicking flanker at the Walcha club, who for seven consecutive seasons from 1951 was the club's highest point scorer and winner of the season's best & fairest trophy.

Fenwicke was first selected for New South Wales against the All Blacks in 1957 and he made his representative debut for Australia in a Test against those same NZ visitors in Sydney. He was selected for the 1957–58 Australia rugby union tour of Britain, Ireland and France and played in nineteen matches on tour including Tests against Wales, Ireland and England
