Péter Biros (born 5 April 1976) is a Hungarian former water polo player, who played on the gold medal squads at the 2000 Summer Olympics, 2004 Summer Olympics and 2008 Summer Olympics, which makes him one of six male athletes who won three Olympic gold medals in water polo. ( Kiss Szecsi Molnar Kasas Benedek Biros) He also competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

He is nicknamed Fácán, meaning 'pheasant', and made his debut for the national side in 1997, during an international tournament in Seville, Spain.

After the 2008 Olympics final, Biros revealed that he performed the entire tournament with a cyst by his heart, something that was unknown to the entire team and coaches alike. He insisted that he played with the consent of his doctors, and received a Fair Play award afterwards for it. He was given the honour to carry the national flag of Hungary at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, becoming the 23rd water polo player to be a flag bearer at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics.
