Peter Sharp (born 16 July 1954^[1]) is an Australian professional rugby league coach. He was most recently the interim coach of the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in Australia's National Rugby League.

Sharp has been the head coach of the Northern Eagles and the Manly Sea Eagles from 1999 to 2003 and has also been an assistant coach at the Parramatta Eels, Newcastle Knights and Melbourne Storm.

Sharp signed with Hull in April 2006, on a two-and-a-half-year contract.^[2] He replaced sacked coach John Kear.^[3] Sharp left the club in 2008 by mutual consent after the club won only 4 of their opening 14 games of the season.

Sharp joined the Cronulla Sharks as assistant coach after the end of the 2011 season.^[4] After the suspension handed to Shane Flanagan for twelve months for his role in the club's supplements scandal, Sharp was elevated to the role of caretaker coach, despite his reluctance to coach in the NRL again. He resigned from this role on 1 July 2014, with James Shepherd to assume this role until Flanagan returns from his suspension.^[5]
