Peter Somerville (born 8 July 1968) is a former Australian rules footballer who played 160 games for Essendon in the AFL.

A ruckman, and son of John Somerville, he shared rucking duties with Paul Salmon for much of his career. He was a premiership player with Essendon and represented Victoria in 1991 and was well known for his amazing high leaping marks.
