Peashooter or pea shooter may refer to:
- Peashooter (toy), consisting of a tube through which peas or other small objects are blown
- Boeing P-26 Peashooter, an American fighter aircraft
- Peashooter, a plant from the video game Plants vs Zombies
The peashooter (sometimes spelling pea-shooter or pea shooter) is a toy version of the blowgun or blowpipe. It is usually a tube that launches its projectiles via blowing. As the name suggests the normal ammunition is peas (usually dried), though other seeds, fruits, improvised darts, or wadded up paper can also be used. The P-26 fighter aircraft was nicknamed the shooter of peas because it has no visible armament (it had two machine guns on the floor of the cockpit shooting through the propeller). It did, however, have a long tube gunsight just forward of the windscreen that appeared to be its only armament.
