Fabienne Peter is a Swiss ice hockey player playing for EHC Basel KLH Ladies as of 2018.

In autumn 2018, Peter became the first transgender woman to play in a Swiss ice hockey league. In response to her application to join EHC Basel's women's team, the Swiss Ice Hockey association unanimously adopted a policy that allowed transgender players to take part in the sport, based on the guidelines of the International Olympic Committee.[1][2][3][4]
