Peter Macduff Christian Hare (12 March 1920 – 14 June 2001) was an English first-class cricketer and educator.

Hare was born at Wokingham in March 1920. He was educated at Canford School,[1] before going up to Worcester College, Oxford.[2] He played minor counties cricket for Dorset in 1939,[3] with Hare trialling for Oxford University in 1940, however both his studies and cricket were interrupted by the Second World War.[1] He served in the war and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Royal Artillery in May 1941.[4] Following the war, he continued his studies at Oxford and made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Leicestershire at Oxford in 1947.[5] Batting once in the match, he was dismissed for 39 runs in the Oxford first innings by Jack Walsh.[6]

After graduating from Oxford, Hare became a schoolmaster at Rugby School for thirty years, before finishing his teaching career at Hanford School.[1] He died at the Westminster Memorial Hospital at Shaftesbury in June 2001.[1]
