Peter Gavigan (11 December 1897 – 2 March 1977) was a Scottish footballer who played in the Football League for Clapton Orient and Fulham as an outside right.[2]

After three seasons in Scottish Division One with St Johnstone, two years at Dundee and a short period at Montrose,[3] his final spell was with Dundee United in Division Two, signing on 9 December 1932 and making his debut against Brechin City the following day. He made 13 league appearances for the club in 1932–33 and was released at the end of the season.[4]

Gavigan's grandson, Peter Loudon, is on the board of directors at St Johnstone.[5]
