BRP Alfredo Peckson (PC-372) is the third ship of the Jose Andrada-class coastal patrol boats of the Philippine Navy. It is part of the first batch of its class ordered through US Foreign Military Sales (FMS) in 1989, and was commissioned with the Philippine Navy on 24 June 1991. It was initially designated as Fast Patrol Craft, and was numbered "DF-372", but later on was re-designated as a Patrol Gunboat, and was re-numbered as "PG-372", until another round of reclassification changed its designation as a Patrol Craft with hull number "PC-372" from April 2016.
