Peter Phelps (born September 20, 1960 in Sydney) is an Australian actor of English & Scandinavian descent. He is notable for his role of Peter Church in the television drama, Stingers. He is the brother of Professor Kerryn Phelps.

Phelps began his acting career in the early 1980s with an on-going role in the Network Ten teen soap opera The Restless Years produced by the Reg Grundy Organisation. After that series ended he had a starring role in new Grundy soap opera Sons and Daughters. It was actually Peter Phelps who came up with the "PAT THE RAT" moniker in the series. In the early 1990s, he was one of the lifeguards (Trevor Cole) in the first series of Baywatch, and had a very minor role in the film Point Break. He also had roles in A Country Practice and The Flying Doctors. In 1993, Phelps won an Australian Film Institute Best Actor award for his role in the GP episode, Exposed.^[1]

Phelps also plays a recurring role as doctor Doug "Spence" Spencer on the medical drama, All Saints starting October 4, 2005. Peter Phelps stars in the movie 'Playing Beatie Bow' as Judah Bow.

In 2009 he appeared in Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities playing police super sergeant senior detective inspector Joe Messina.

In 2009, he appeared in a new public awareness campaign by the NSW Rural Fire Service about the need to prepare for bushfires. This included television and radio advertisements. The campaign has subsequently been adopted by the Tasmanian Fire Service. ^[2]
