Peter Møller-Nielsen (born 23 March 1972) is a Danish former professional football (soccer) player who became a sports journalist after ending his football career in December 2005. He won four Danish Superliga championships for the rival clubs Brøndby IF and F.C. Copenhagen, and became the most scoring Superliga player ever in 2005. He scored five goals in 20 matches for the Denmark national football team, and took part in the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Currently he works as a host on DR1 (Denmark) which is the Danish national channel. Møller is mainly used at the sports news.

Born in part of Frederikshavn called Abildgård, Møller played with local team Aalborg Boldspilklub (AaB). He got his breakthrough in the top-flight Danish championship, when he was handed his debut by AaB manager Poul Erik Andreasen in 1990. He was called up for the Danish under-21 national team in November 1990, and went on to score 16 goals in 22 games for the under-21 national team, including games at the 1992 Summer Olympics. He made his Danish national team debut in September 1991, under national manager Richard Møller Nielsen, but would spend the following years mainly as a substitute.

He was AaB's leading goal scorer in his four seasons at the club, and was the Superliga top scorer two years in a row in the 1991–92 and 1992–93 seasons. Møller was chased by both Danish top teams F.C. Copenhagen (FCK) and Brøndby IF, and ended up moving to FCK in July 1993. He played a single year at FCK, but struggled to reproduce his goalscoring ability. He was loaned out to Swiss club FC Zürich in Augsust 1994, and when he returned to FCK in June 1995, he looked to leave the club.
