Pyotr Petrovich Sokolov (Russian: Пётр Петрович Соколов, 16 December 1890 (OS)/28 December 1890 (NS) – 11 May 1971) was a Russian football player who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics.
He was a member of the Russian Olympic squad and played one match in the main tournament as well as one match in the consolation tournament.
