Peter George Kmetovic (December 27, 1919 – February 8, 1990) was an American football player and coach. He played professionally as a halfback in the National Football League (NFL) for the Philadelphia Eagles in 1946 and the Detroit Lions 1947.

Kmetovic played college football for Stanford University, helping the team reach the 1941 Rose Bowl. In the game, Kmetovic rushed for 141 yards and returned a punt for a touchdown to lead the Indians to a 21–13 victory over Nebraska. For his efforts, Kmetovic was named the player of the game.[1] He was drafted by the Eagles in first round othe 1942 NFL draft with the third overall pick.
