Peter Adam Emelianchik, born November 19, 1943 in Brooklyn, New York, is a retired American football player.
Emelianchik is one of two players to have played football at Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn and reach the National Football League. He played tight end for Dodge City Junior College in 1962 and the University of Richmond Spiders in 1963 and 1964. Emelianchik was voted all-Southern Conference at end in 1963, but was not drafted by any NFL teams. He was signed as a free agent by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1967, and played on special teams in the last regular season game against the Cleveland Browns but did not record any statistics.
Emelianchik returned to the Eagles for training camp in 1968, and even caught a touchdown pass from John Huarte in a preseason game, but did not make the team.
His football career ended when he was the first player cut in training camp by the New York Giants in 1969.
