"Peter Pan" is a song co-written and recorded by American country pop artist Kelsea Ballerini for her debut studio album, The First Time (2015). Ballerini co-wrote the song with Forest Glen Whitehead and Jesse Lee. It was released to American country radio on March 21, 2016 as the album's third single. The song is a country pop ballad about a lost love being compared to the song's namesake as a metaphor for being immature and having a tendency to run off to his own fantasy.

"Peter Pan" peaked at number one on both the Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts, becoming Ballerini's first to hit the top of the former, and her third consecutive on the latter chart. It makes her the first female country music artist to top both country music charts at the same time. It also made her the first female country artist since Wynonna Judd in 1992 to send their first three singles to number one. It also charted at number 35 on the Hot 100 chart. The song was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and has sold 619,000 copies in the United States as of January 2017. The song also charted in Canada, peaking at number 4 on the Canada Country chart and number 75 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart. It garnered a Gold certification from Music Canada, denoting sales of 40,000 units in that country.

An accompanying music video for the song, directed by Kristin Barlowe, features Ballerini watching in terror as her boyfriend does thrill-seeking stunts in cars, motorcycles, and planes out in the Las Vegas desert. Ballerini first performed the song live with Nick Jonas at the Academy of Country Music Awards and would make later appearances at the 2016 Radio Disney Music Awards with Daya, Live with Kelly and Michael, and the Grand Ole Opry.
