Peter Noel Kirsten (born 14 May 1955 in Pietermaritzburg, Natal) is a former South African cricketer who played in 12 Tests and 40 ODIs from 1991 to 1994.

Kirsten made his Test debut at the late age of 36 due to South Africa's ban on international cricket during the 1970s and 80s. Despite being well past his destructive best as a number 3 batsman, he still managed to post his one and only Test century at the age of 38.

He is the older half-brother of former South Africa opener Gary Kirsten.
