Pyotr Pyatrovich Kachura (Belarusian: Пётр Качура, Russian: Петр Качуро, Petr Kachuro) (born 2 August 1972 in Orsha, Belarusian SSR, Soviet Union) is a former Belarusian footballer. Starting off with his home town club Dynamo Minsk he went on to have spells at Sheffield United in England and Chengdu Wuniu in China before returning to his homeland, playing for Minsk for a second spell and later for Sokol Saratov. Following his retirement he went on to have a spell as manager at Dinamo Minsk in 2006–07. As a player, he also played for the Belarus national side on 29 occasions, scoring five goals.

During his time in England he used an Anglicised version of his name and was referred to as Petr or Peter Katchouro.

Kachura started his playing career at his hometown club FC Dinamo Minsk, the most successful team in Belarus having won the Belarusian Premier League a record seven times since it began in 1992. Kachura was part of the side which won the Belarusian Premier League in 1995.

In July 1996, Sheffield United signed Kachura for ₤650,000. He scored 14 goals in his first season as the Blades finished in fifth place in Division One and qualified for the Playoffs. However, the Blades lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace in the final at Wembley, with a last minute David Hopkin goal shattering United's promotion dream. Kachura was awarded for his performances by being given the 1996/97 player of the season award at Bramall Lane.
