Hans-Peter Ferner (born 6 June 1956 in Neuburg an der Donau, Bavaria) is a (West) German former middle-distance runner who won the gold medal over 800 m at the 1982 European Championships in Athletics in Athens where he unexpectedly defeated world-record holder Sebastian Coe.
Those were Ferner's second and last European Athletics Championships, because he had competed already in the 1978 European Championships in Prague, where he had been eliminated in the 800-metre heats or semifinals.
Coe had suffered from injuries and a glandular sickness which made him underachieve in Athens.
