Peter Neururer (born 26 April 1955) is a German association football manager notable for coaching a number of Bundesliga clubs.

Neururer had a minor playing career in the lower leagues before moving into coaching at TuS Haltern and SG Weitmar. He moved into the higher leagues as assistant manager of Horst Hrubesch at 2. Bundesliga club Rot-Weiss Essen in the 1986–87 season, and eventually had a two-month spell in sole command in late 1987. Neururer won two of his nine matches as manager.

Neururer then gained an outright managerial position at this level with Alemannia Aachen in January 1988. After landing the club a 6th-place finish where he won 10 out of 17 matches in the 1987–88 season and a strong following season, he was approached by Schalke 04, who were enduring a difficult season after relegation. Neururer left the club on 10 April 1989. His final match was a 1–0 loss against SV Darmstadt 98 on 7 April 1989. Alemannia Aachen were in seventh place when he left the club. He Finished with a record of 23 wins, nine draws, and 13 losses.

Neururer was chosen as manager of FC Schalke 04 on 11 April 1989. Neururer took the Ruhr club to 5th place in 1989–90 and started the following season brightly as well, with the club being second after the opening three months. However, this was not enough to satisfy the club president who fired him nonetheless in November 1990. He finished with a record of 33 wins, 16 draws, and 17 losses. In June 2007, Neururer created controversy when he claimed that doping had been rife in German football in the 1990s. He specifically referred to his time as manager of FC Schalke 04 in 1989–90 in this accusation, although this was refuted by the club itself.

Neururer did not have to wait too long for another opportunity as Bundesliga side Hertha BSC came calling after they had fired Pál Csernai. Neururer immediately took over in March 1991. The club were sat bottom the table at this point and Neururer was unable to stop the rot, as the team failed to win a single game in his 14 in charge and were duly relegated. Unsurprisingly, Neururer left Hertha BSC at this point in May 1991. He finished with a record of no wins, two draws, and 10 losses.
