Peter Škantár (born 20 July 1982) is a retired Slovak slalom canoeist who competed at the international level from 1998 to 2018, along with his cousin Ladislav Škantár in the C2 class. They retired from canoe slalom in 2018 after the C2 event was discontinued and subsequently switched to wildwater canoeing.[2] They announced retirement from wildwater canoeing during the 2021 World Championships in their hometown Bratislava where they didn't start due to Ladislav's injury.[3]

He won an Olympic gold medal in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro in the C2 event.[4] He also won ten medals at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships with a gold (C2 team: 2009), five silvers (C2: 2009, 2017; C2 team: 2011, 2013, 2014) and four bronzes (C2: 2011, 2013, 2014; C2 team: 2007). He won the overall World Cup title in the C2 category in 2009, 2010 and 2014. At the European Championships Škantár won a total of 13 medals (7 golds, 1 silver and 5 bronzes).[5]

As of 2021 he is the coach of Matej Beňuš.[3]
