Peter Lucas (23 November 1929 – 16 September 2019) was an Australian rules footballer, who played for Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Peter Lucas was a regular half back flanker in the Collingwood team. His 177 VFL games between 1949 and 1959 included the winning 1958 Grand Final against Melbourne. He was a member of what the historian (and passionate Carlton supporter) Manning Clark called, 31 years after it had last played together, "that great half-back line of Lucas, Kingston and Tuck".^[1]^[2] Later Lucas was an administrator and general manager at Collingwood after retiring from playing football in 1959.
