Peter Adam Emelianchik, born November 19, 1943 in Brooklyn, New York, is a retired American football player.

Emelianchik is one of two players to have played football at Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn and reach the National Football League.[3] He played tight end for Dodge City Junior College in 1962 and the University of Richmond Spiders in 1963 and 1964.[4] Emelianchik was voted all-Southern Conference at end in 1963,[5][6] but was not drafted by any NFL teams. He was signed as a free agent by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1967, and played on special teams in the last regular season game against the Cleveland Browns[7] but did not record any statistics.[8]

Emelianchik returned to the Eagles for training camp in 1968, and even caught a touchdown pass from John Huarte in a preseason game,[9] but did not make the team.

His football career ended when he was the first player cut in training camp by the New York Giants in 1969.[10]
