Percival George "Percy" Trotter (1 September 1883 – 27 August 1959) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL), Essendon Association in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) and East Fremantle in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).

Trotter played as a rover and was versatile in that he could kick well with both feet. He debuted in 1901 at the age of 18. In 2002 Trotter was named on the interchange bench in Fitzroy's official 'Team of the Century'.

Trotter's time with East Fremantle was interrupted by his service in World War I during which time he took part in the Pioneer Exhibition Game in London.
