Peter Burns (birthdate unknown) was a Negro Leagues catcher and for several years before the founding of the first Negro National League.

Little is known about Burns at this time, but records show him on teams lists and in newspaper reports from 1890 to 1900.

He played with several of the big players of the day, such as Chappie Johnson, Charlie Grant, Sherman Barton, and he caught for the famous pitcher of the day George Wilson. During his time with the Page Fence Giants, Burns often caught for Bill Holland.
