Peter Desmond (23 November 1926 in Cork, Ireland – July 1990) was an Irish footballer.
Desmond made all four appearances for Ireland while playing for Middlesbrough.
He made his international debut in a 3–0 win against Finland on 8 September 1949 at Dalymount Park in a World Cup qualifier.
Ireland took the lead in the 33rd minute when Desmond, after collecting a pass from Tommy O'Connor, was brought down in the England penalty area; Con Martin then converted the subsequent penalty kick.
They came on 9 October 1949 in a 1–1 draw with Finland and on 13 November 1949 in 3–1 defeat to Sweden.
