Kurd Peters (7 August 1914 – 24 July 1957) was a German officer (Major) in the Luftwaffe during World War II, and a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross of Nazi Germany.

His first two claims of the day were in fact Herausschüsse (separation shots)—a severely damaged heavy bomber forced to separate from its combat box which was counted as an aerial victory.

A Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber was forced from its combat box southeast of Berlin at 10:07.

The second B-24 bomber was then forced from formation at 10:15 20 kilometers (12 miles) southwest of Berlin.

[3] On 29 June, Peters was shot down in his Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-7 (Werknummer 340303—factory number) near Laucha an der Unstrut and Naumburg.
