Peter Stone (20 June 1924 — 10 July 1971) was a Welsh international rugby union player.

Born in Loughor, Stone played for Aberystwyth RFC, Llanelly RFC and University College of Wales.[1]

Stone gained his solitary Wales cap deputing an injured Ray Cale at wing-forward for the final fixture of the 1949 Five Nations, a loss to France at Colombes which decided the "wooden spoon".[2][3]

A teacher, Stone tutored rugby to future Wales player Max Wiltshire at Rhydir Lower Comprehensive School.[4]
