Peter Norburn (31 December 1930 - 6 June 2017) was an English extra (actor), window cleaner, and professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1950s, and 1960s, playing at representative level for England, English League XIII, and Lancashire and at club level for Worsley Boys Club ARLFC, Swinton, and Salford, as a wing, or second-row, i.e. number 2 or 5, or, 11 or 12.
Peter Norburn played right-second-row, i.e. number 12 for English League XIII while at Swinton in the 19-8 victory over France at Headingley, Leeds on Wednesday 16 April 1958, and won a cap playing right wing, i.e. number 2, and scored 4-tries for England while at Swinton in the 30-22 victory over Other Nationalities at Central Park, Wigan on Saturday 28 November 1953, equaling the England national team's record for the most tries by an individual in a match.
Peter Norburn played in Swinton's victories in the Championship during the 1962-63 season, and the 1963-64 season. These were also the only two seasons between the 1905–06 season and the 1972–73 season in which a playoff wasn't used to determine the Championship winners.
