Peter Bennetts Truscott (born 14 August 1941, at Pahiatua, Manawatu, New Zealand), was a cricketer who played one Test for New Zealand in 1965.

Truscott was a right-handed batsman who had a brief first-class career, lasting just five years. He played three matches for Canterbury without great success in 1961-62, but in the next two seasons played only for the New Zealand Under-23 side in one match each season. In 1963-64, he scored 165 when opening the batting for the Under-23s against Auckland, and this remained his only first-class century.

For two seasons from 1964–65, Truscott played regularly but unspectacularly for Wellington, and in February 1965 he was unexpectedly called up for the third Test against Pakistan at Christchurch. He scored 3 and 26, but was not picked for the New Zealand team to tour India, Pakistan and England in 1965 and, after another modest season for Wellington, he retired.
