Peter Houtman (born June 4, 1957 in Rotterdam ) is a former Dutch footballer.

After going through the youth department of Feyenoord Rotterdam , he was loaned to FC Groningen for 1 year , where he scored 23 times in 32 games. In the following year at Feyenoord he only scored 5 times in 15 games. The success remained in the following year at Club Bruges (15 games / 3 goals). Back at FC Groningen things went better again. Here he scored 21 times in 40 games. This achievement earned him another transfer to his great love Feyenoord. In the following 1982/83 season his career reached its peak. He became Europe's top scorer (30 goals in 32 games) and won the championship with his club Feyenoord. In the following two years he scored 42 goals in 64 games before playing again in 1985/86 for FC Groningen, where he hit the net 26 times in 45 games in 2 years. He then continued his career abroad with little success. At Sporting Lisbon (19 games / 3 goals) he had to leave after one season and once again found his way to his dream club Feyenoord. But here, too, there was no longer any success. But at city rivals Sparta Rotterdam he found his usual strength again: in 76 games he scored 32 goals.

The really strange thing about Peter Houtman's career is that despite his fantastic scoring (303 games / 165 hits) he hardly played for Oranje . He completed only 8 internationals, in which he scored 7 goals. (Including the 2-1 win against Spain in qualifying for the European Championship 1984.)

He is currently the stadium announcer and youth coach at Feyenoord Rotterdam.
