Peter Mortimer (born 22 December 1957)[2] is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1970s and 1980s.

[citation needed] Mortimer played 190 first grade games for Canterbury between 1977 and 1987, and is equal fourth on the all-time try-scoring list alongside older brother Steve.

Mortimer represented New South Wales in 1979 and was unlucky not to play State of Origin and narrowly missed selection for the 1982 Kangaroo Tour.

Even though Steve and Chris played for Australia Peter enjoyed a fine career at Canterbury as a winger or centre and was a popular and respected player amongst his teammates and opponents.

He returned to Canterbury in 2002 following the salary cap scandal where he took up a position as Football Club Director with brother Steve as Chief Executive.
