Peter Osborne Hart (born 14 August 1957 in Mexborough) is an English former footballer who played mainly as a defender. He made 600 appearances in the Football League playing for Huddersfield Town and Walsall.[1]

Hart holds the record for the youngest debutant for Huddersfield Town, having made his debut aged 16 years and 229 days against Southend United in 1974.[2] He played for Huddersfield in the final of the 1974 FA Youth Cup, and captained the club to the Fourth Division title in 1980.[2] He then moved to Walsall, helped them reach the semi-final of the 1983–84 Football League Cup, and captained the side to promotion to the Second Division via the play-offs in 1988.[2] The final game at Walsall's Fellows Park ground was Hart's testimonial match against West Bromwich Albion.[3] After retiring from football he was ordained as a minister of the Church of England and became vicar of St Luke's church in Cannock.[4]
