Peter Randall Fowler (born 9 June 1959) is an Australian professional golfer. He played on the European Tour, PGA Tour of Australasia, and the European Senior Tour. His most prestigious win was 1983 Australian Open.

In 1959, Fowler was born in Hornsby outside Sydney, New South Wales. Fowler developed his skills in golf at Pennant Hills Golf Club in Sydney. Early in his career, he thanked his coach, Ian Alexander, at Pennant Hills.

In 1977, Fowler turned professional.

His first win on one of the worlds major profesional golf tours was the Australian Open at Kingston Heath Golf Club in 1983. At the time, it was considered one of the most prestigious golf tournaments in the world, outside the four majors, with Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Greg Norman among former winners.

He has spent a large part of his career playing on the European Tour, where he made the top one hundred on the Order of Merit every year from 1983 to 1993, with a best ranking of 22nd in 1989. His only European Tour win came at the 1993 BMW International Open in Germany.

After struggling for form in through the mid and late nineties Fowler enjoyed something of an Indian summer between 2002 and 2004, returning to the top hundred for those three seasons, and recording his best finish in The Open Championship in 2003 when he came joint 22nd.

Another career highlight for Fowler was winning the 1989 World Cup for Australia in partnership with Wayne Grady. In addition to the team title, Fowler won the prize for the best individual performance.

In 2009, Fowler joined the European Senior Tour, making his début in the Jersey Seniors Classic, which was played at the same venue, La Moye Golf Club, at which he had made his first appearance on the European Tour in 1983.
