Peter Graham Waterfield (born 12 March 1981) is a British diver. His specialism is the 10 metre platform event, both as solo competitor and in the synchronised event with his former partner Leon Taylor. For the 2011 season, Waterfield was paired in the synchronised competitions with 2008 Beijing Olympic competitor Tom Daley, in British Swimming's continuing efforts to find the best synchro pairing for the 2012 Olympics.

Despite their noticeable height difference (Peter is only 5' 6", Leon is almost 5' 11") in a discipline normally requiring as much uniformity as possible, they turned in strong synchronised performances. In the diving events at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, they won the silver medal in the men's synchronised 10 metre platform- Britain's first Olympic diving medal since Brian Phelps in 1960. They had come fourth in the same competition in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.

In the 2002 Commonwealth Games held in Manchester, Waterfield's best solo showing to date came when won the 10 metre gold medal. In the 2006 Commonwealth Games he won a silver medal.

Born in London, he lives in Southampton where he is a member of the diving club there and is coached by Lindsey Fraser.
