Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Datuk Peter Mojuntin (English: Datuk Peter Mojuntin National Secondary School; commonly known as SMK Datuk Peter Mojuntin or SMK DPM) is one of the secondary schools in Sabah which is located at Penampang, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. It is close to Sabah's capital city, Kota Kinabalu.

The school was officially opened on 27 February 1979 by the then-Education Minister, Dato’ (now Tun) Musa Hitam.

Named after Datuk Peter Joinod Mojuntin, the 5th State Minister of Local Government and Housing, who was killed in June 1976 among with other Sabahan politicians due to a plane crash known as the Double Six Tragedy. He was a well-respected leader and was regarded as the Golden Son of the Kadazan.
