Peter Anstey Dalwood (17 June 1922 – 22 May 2000) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Norwood in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) and Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Dalwood, in his fourth VFL game, kicked seven goals to help Fitzroy defeat Collingwood. It was the highlight of his brief stint in the league and in 1946 he returned to Norwood, with whom he kicked 70 goals for the year to top the SANFL goal-kicking. A key forward and ruckman, he was the leading goal-kicker at Norwood on a further two occasions. He was a six time South Australian interstate representative, for a return of 13 goals. Under captain-coach Jack Oatey, Dalwood appeared in Norwood's 1946, 1948 and 1950 premiership teams. He kicked five goals in the 1946 Grand Final win over Port Adelaide.
