Peter James Wallace (born 16 October 1985) is a retired Australian footballer who played for the Penrith Panthers, the Brisbane Broncos in the NRL and represented Scotland in international rugby league.

A New South Wales State of Origin representative, Wallace began his career playing as a halfback but later moved to hooker.

Wallace performed very strongly while Darren Lockyer was injured and provided much needed stability in Brisbane's halves and a good kicking game.

[13] Later in the month he was named in the 17-man squad to represent New South Wales in the opening State of Origin match on 3 June 2009, in Melbourne.

[14] Wallace was injured at the time of Brisbane's 2009 post-Origin slump and upon his return the club enjoyed its best winning streak in five years, reaching the finals.

At the end of the 2013 NRL season, Wallace was selected to represent Scotland at the 2013 Rugby League World Cup held in Europe.

[18] Playing well at his new found position, Wallace signed a two-year deal with the club on 25 July 2016, extending his contract with Penrith to the end of 2018.

The Penrith club released a statement in which general manager Phil Gould praised the 32-year-old for his "incredibly selfless act".

Gould also revealed Wallace had played the last two seasons with no anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) after a failed knee reconstruction.

[4] Eligible through his maternal grandmother,[7] Wallace was unable to represent Scotland at the 2008 World Cup due to treatment for injuries.

[22] The following year, Wallace was forced to withdraw from Scotland's 2017 World Cup squad to recover from numerous injuries obtained throughout the 2017 NRL season.
