Peter Elzinga (born 30 January 1981, Almere, Netherlands), is a Dutch former athlete who competed in compound archery. His achievements include becoming the world number one ranked archer in 2004, which position he held for 384 days, and breaking the world record 1440 round with 1419 points in 2009.[5]

Individually, Elzinga won silver in the 2006 World Cup final and one gold in a World Cup stage. With the Dutch team, he won three World Cup stages. At the World Archery Championships he won silver in 2011 with Inge van Caspel in the mixed team, and bronze in 2019 with Mike Schloesser and Sil Pater in the men's team.[6] Elzinga won nine European titles and at least sixteen medals in total at European championships in- and outdoors.
