Carl Peterson (born 3 July 1987) is a former Australian rules football player with the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League. Peterson was also listed with the Richmond Football Club but did not play a game.

More recently, Peterson played for the Perth Football League team SNESA.

Peterson was born in Meekatharra, Western Australia, and moved to Kununurra when he was two before moving to Perth to finish Year 12, where he trained and played football with the Clontarf Football Academy. Claremont Football Club recruited him into the Western Australian Football League (WAFL).[1] He played five games for Claremont in 2006, including two finals.[2]

Richmond originally drafted Peterson in the 2006 AFL Draft. He was a fourth-round pick, number 60 overall, but the Tigers delisted him at the end of the 2007 season without playing a game. Following this, he joined Northern Territory Football League (NTFL) club St Mary's and was in the Saints' 2007/08 premiership side. He was then redrafted into the AFL by Hawthorn with the 61st overall of the 2009 Rookie Draft.[3]

He made his AFL debut in the opening round of the 2010 AFL season and performed well, kicking a goal and gathering 15 disposals in the first half before copping a heavy knock early in the second half.[4] He played seventeen games for Hawthorn, all in 2010.

In 2012, Peterson signed to play for the Victorian Football League's Northern Blues.[5] He spent the previous year (2011) playing for Old Carey in the VAFA.[6]
