Peter Ryan (born 23 March 1971) is an Australian former rugby league and rugby union footballer of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. A Queensland State of Origin representative forward, he played ten seasons with the Brisbane Broncos and finished his career playing rugby union for the ACT Brumbies.
Ryan attended Downlands College in Toowoomba. After representing Australia in rugby union as a schoolboy and playing for the Brisbane Rugby League premiership's Western Suburbs club, Ryan moved to the Broncos in 1990.
In the weeks following the Broncos' inaugural premiership win Ryan travelled with the club to England, where he played from the interchange bench in the 1992 World Club Challenge against British champions Wigan, helping Brisbane become the first NSWRL club to win the match in Britain. A handy utility forward, the following season he was part of the Broncos' 1993 Winfield Cup triumph.
During the 1994 NSWRL season, Ryan played from the interchange bench for defending premiers Brisbane when they hosted British champions Wigan for the 1994 World Club Challenge.
In 1997 Ryan debuted for Queensland and was named the Broncos' player of the year in a premiership-winning season, Ryan's second title with the club. Only a suspension, which ruled him out of the 1998 NRL grand final, denied him the opportunity of winning a third premiership with the Broncos in 1998.
