Born 1949. Peter Winchester is an Australian rugby league player.

Peter Winchester nicknamed "Chester" is an Australian former rugby league footballer who played in the 1970s. He played for Canterbury-Bankstown in the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) competition.

Background Winchester played junior rugby league for Lewisham Old Boys.

Playing career Winchester made his first grade debut for Canterbury-Bankstown in Round 1 1973 against Manly-Warringah. Originally a five-eighth, Winchester moved to the centres in the 1974 season. Winchester played at centre for Canterbury against Eastern Suburbs in the 1974 NSWRL grand final, the clubs first since the 1967 grand final defeat by South Sydney.

Easts defeated Canterbury 19-4 at the Sydney Cricket Ground to win their first premiership since 1945.
