Peter Higgins (born 11 October 1966) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with the West Coast Eagles in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Higgins played at both under-19s and reserves level with the Carlton Football Club but didn't make an appearance in the seniors. A ruckman, he joined Western Australian Football League (WAFL) club Claremont in 1987 in search of greater opportunities and participated in their WAFL premiership team that year.[1]
He was picked up by West Coast with the 10th pick of the 1988 VFL draft and had 28 hit-outs on debut, against Collingwood.[2] After just one season and four games, Higgins was de-listed by the club.
Following a good season for Claremont, Higgins was redrafted by West Coast in the 1991 AFL pre-season draft but played in the WAFL throughout 1991 and was again de-listed by West Coast.
