Peter Nellies (24 April 1886 – 15 July 1930) was a Scottish footballer, who played for Heart of Midlothian (where he played before, during and after World War I while also working in a reserved occupation as a coal miner during the conflict, and is ranked 8th on the club's all-time appearances list in the Scottish Football League), King's Park and Carlisle United.
He gained two caps for the Scotland national team (one as captain) and was selected nine times for the Scottish League XI, and was also manager of Berwick Rangers.
Nellies's sister married footballer Willie Cringan; the brothers-in-law played together once for the Scottish League XI in 1919.
