Peter Herceg de Szekcső (Hungarian: szekcsői Herceg Péter; born Peter Kőszegi, also known as Peter the Duke; Hungarian: Kőszegi "Herceg" Péter; died between 1353 and 1358) was a Hungarian lord in the first half of the 14th century. He was born into the powerful and rebellious Kőszegi family, whose members were considered the ardent enemies of Charles I of Hungary. After years of wars and failed revolts, Peter pledged allegiance to the king in 1339. He became the progenitor of the Herceg de Szekcső noble family.
