Peter Blank (born 10 April 1962) is a German track and field athlete who competed in the javelin throw.
In 1992, he set the world record for longest javelin throw in a decathlon with a distance of 79.80 m. His personal best throw is 88.70 m, achieved in June 2001 in Stuttgart at age 39.
This throw was briefly a Masters M35 world record; it lasted less than a week because Jan Železný had turned 35 three weeks earlier and in his first competition after turning 35, Železný threw the javelin 89.94 m. Železný then further improved the record to 92.80 m at the 2001 World Championships, putting it beyond Blank's reach.
As of 2017, this record continues to stand, unsurpassed by Železný when he turned 45, or any other javelin thrower.
