Peter Bennetts Truscott, born at Pahiatua, Manawatu, New Zealand on 14 August 1941, was a cricketer who played one Test for New Zealand in 1965.
Truscott was a right-handed batsman who had a brief first-class career, lasting just five years. He played three matches for Canterbury without great success in 1961-62, but in the next two seasons played only for the New Zealand Under-23 side in one match each season. In 1963-64, he scored 165 when opening the batting for the Under-23s against Auckland, and this remained his only first-class century.
For two seasons from 1964-65, Truscott played regularly but unspectacularly for Wellington, and in February 1965 he was unexpectedly called up for the third Test against Pakistan at Christchurch. He scored 3 and 26, but was not picked for the New Zealand team to tour India, Pakistan and England in 1965 and, after another modest season for Wellington, he retired.
