Teodor Peterek (nicknames: Mietlorz and Teo; 7 November 1910 – 12 January 1969), was a Polish footballer who played as a forward.

Together with Gerard Wodarz and Ernest Willimowski, Peterek was part of Ruch's attack, which is to this day regarded as one of the best forward formations in history of Polish Soccer League.

In 189 games for Ruch (1928–1939), he scored 154 goals, a lot of them with the head - this was due to "Teo's" height - at 182 centimeters, he was one of the tallest forwards in Poland.

In 1942, Theodor (this was the German-language variation of his first name) was conscripted to the Wehrmacht, two years later escaped the German Army and was captured by the Allies, who sent him to Polish units.
