Peter Warlow Gatehouse (born 3 May 1936) is a former Welsh cricketer and pharmacist. Gatehouse was a left-arm fast-medium bowler and tail-end right-handed batsman who played for Glamorgan from 1957 to 1962. He was born at Caerphilly, Glamorgan.

Gatehouse made his first-class debut for Glamorgan against Nottinghamshire at Stradey Park, Llanelli, in the 1957 County Championship. He made eighteen further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against Kent at the St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury.[1] A bowler, Gatehouse took 53 wickets in his nineteen first-class matches, at an average of 29.26.[2] His best bowling figures of 7/94 came against Middlesex at Lord's in 1958.[3] He also took an additional three wickets in this match, giving him the only ten-wicket match haul of his career.[4] He took a second five wicket haul against Somerset in the same season.[5] A tailend batsman, Gatehouse scored a total of 85 runs at a batting average of 5.66, with a high score of 20.[6]

While playing for Glamorgan, Gatehouse studied for a Ph.D. in pharmacy at Cardiff University. It was in this profession that he chose to pursue a career, thereby ending his first-class cricket career.[7][3]
