Peter Polycarpou, (31 March 1957), is a British-Cypriot actor best known for playing the second Chris Theodopolopodous in Birds of a Feather.

His first acting role came in 1982, in an episode of The Professionals where he played a waiter. He played bit roles throughout the rest of The '80s until 1990, where he got his first big break when he took over the role of Chris Theodopolopodous on Birds of a Feather over from David Cardy. Polycarpou played the role from the second to sixth series, however, Cardy returned to the role for Series 7 onwards.

Soon after leaving BOAF, Polycarpou was cast in Evita as Domingo Mercante. Since the Turn of the Millennium, he popped up in many British dramas and Soap Operas, including Holby City, The Bill, and EastEnders.

In The New '10s, he has begun to provide voiceover roles for video games in addition to his acting roles.
