Peter Frank Radford (born 20 September 1939) is a former British sprinter, who competed at 100 and 200 metres (and 100 and 220 yards), broke world records, and won Olympic medals, despite having been seriously ill as a child due to a hole in his kidney.

On 28 May 1960, he broke the world record for 220 yards with a time of 20.5 seconds, at the Staffordshire Championships in Wolverhampton.

The USA finished first in that race but were disqualified for a baton exchange outside the permitted zone which then elevated Britain to third.

Videos show that Radford's baton pass to David Jones at the first changeover was also outside the permitted zone so the Britons were fortunate not to be disqualified as well.

Radford won a second British Empire and Commonwealth Games Gold medal in Perth, Western Australia in 1962 as a member of the England 4×110 yards relay team,[2] and represented Britain as a quarter-finalist at both 100m and 200m at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics,[2] albeit as a late selection.
