Peter Matthew Siddle (born 25 November 1984) is an Australian Test cricketer. He is a specialist right-arm fast bowler who plays for Victoria and Australia.

He became the 15th Australian to get 200 wickets in Test cricket, making Doug Bracewell his 200th victim in the first ever day/night Test against New Zealand in Adelaide.

Peter Matthew Siddle was born in Traralgon, Victoria. He grew up in Morwell, Gippsland, and began playing cricket at the age of 14 for the Latrobe Cricket Club. As a teenager, he experienced success at under-17 level taking 11/47 in a state match, breaking the Victorian state record set by John Scholes. In 2003, Siddle attended the Australian Cricket Academy and made his first-class debut playing for Victoria against a touring West Indian side at Melbourne in November 2005. In 2006 he attended the Academy again and was offered a full contract with the Victorian Bushrangers for the 2006–07 season. After that, despite suffering a number of shoulder injuries which limited his playing opportunities, he became a regular in the Victorian side.

He was selected as one of the entrants to the Who's Who in Australia 2011 edition.

Siddle signed for English county Essex for the 2012 Friends Life t20. Following an injury he picked up on Australia's tour of the West Indies, Siddle was unable to fulfill his contract with Essex.

Outside of cricket, he, like Ricky Ponting, is an avid supporter of Australian Football, North Melbourne and the Melbourne Storm in the National Rugby League. In 2012, Siddle joined his girlfriend in adopting a Vegan Lifestyle.
