Peter Caven (born 16 May 1970) is a former Australian rules footballer who played in the Australian Football League. He played initially as a nagging, sometimes ungainly but effective defender and built on this base to become a sweeping counterattacking central defender.

[edit] Tony Lockett incident

In 1994, playing for the Sydney Swans, Caven made the headlines by being involved in a brutal incident with St Kilda full-forward Tony Lockett. "Plugger" Lockett, one of Australian Rules greatest full forwards and an immensely strong man, paid Caven's defensive skills the great, if unwelcome, compliment, of resorting to elbowing him in the head and received an 8-week suspension from the AFL Tribunal. Caven went on to a distinguished and successful career as a key centre half back with the Adelaide Crows Premiership team.
