Peter Svet (Cyrillic: Петар Свет; born 5 April 1949), sometimes spelled as Petar Svet, is a Slovenian former long-distance runner who competed for Yugoslavia throughout the 1970s. In addition to the 5000 and 10,000 meters, he also specialized as a steeplechaser. He holds multiple Slovenian records in athletics.

Hailing from Celje,[2] Svet won the 1974 Balkan Cross Country Championships. At the 1974 European Athletics Championships, he placed 10th in the men's 5000 meters finals, running a personal best time of 13:41.6. His previous best time before the race was 13:52.[3] He also ran in the men's 10,000 meters event, placing 18th.[4] That same summer of 1974, he set the national record for the 3000 m steeplechase at 8:29.6; after that summer however, his athletic career stagnated starting with a surgery and he never returned to form.[3]

He was a Yugoslavian champion on five occasions: twice in cross country running (1973, 1974) and three times in steeplechase (1973, 1974, 1979).[5] He also competed in later life, representing his native Slovenia at the 2000 European Veterans Athletics Championships, where he was the over-50s steeplechase winner.[6]
