Peter Russo (born 29 October 1959) is a former Italian-Australian rules footballer who played for Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1980s before finishing his career at St Kilda.

Mostly used as a ruck-rover and in the forward pocket, Russo could also play in the back pocket and wing. He started his career with Hawthorn in 1978 and was a member of their 1978 premiership side. Russo missed out on Hawthorn's 1983 premiership through injury but was a premiership player again in 1986. In 1985 he represented Victoria at interstate football. Post-retirement he followed his life-long dream of becoming a high school mathematics teacher.
