Peter Dean (born 9 March 1965) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton from 1984 to 1998 as a defender.

From South Bendigo, Dean won two VFL / AFL premierships with Carlton, in 1987 and 1995. After retiring, Dean was also a runner for the Blues.

Dean coached the Murray Bushrangers Football Club in the TAC Cup in 2006 and 2007.

In 2015 Carlton named its father–son academy the Peter Dean Father–Son Academy.

In 2025, his son Harry Dean was pick number three in the 2025 AFL draft by Carlton under the father-son rule.

On the evening of 9 February 2026 Dean was reportedly hospitalised after being assaulted by a group of people in Albury. A 17-year-old male was later arrested following inquiries by detectives from the Murray River Police District.
