Peter Pass MBE (8 March 1933 – 3 June 2012) was a British water polo player. He competed in the men's tournament at the 1956 Summer Olympics. He was inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records in 1972 for the most career caps of any British water polo player—a total of 95—and received an MBE that same year.
