Peter Durcan (born 27 July 1986) is an Irish rugby union player, whose position is usually Flyhalf although he has played at Centre/ Fullback and on the Wing. Originally from Ballina in County Mayo, Ireland, Durcan was born in neighbouring Sligo, Ireland.

In 2009 Peter joined Federale 1 side Limoges where he played for two seasons 2009–2011, before he joined another Fed 1 side Montauban for the 2011–12 season.[4] After the 2012–13 season with Montauban, Durcan rejoined Limoges.
