Peter Parker is a fictional character portrayed by Tom Holland in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise–based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name—also known by his alias, Spider-Man. In the MCU, Parker is initially a high school student with spider-like abilities that was inducted into the Avengers and fought the Vulture, Mysterio, and the Green Goblin. In every MCU Spider-Man film, the character is mentored by a more experienced MCU hero: Avenger Tony Stark in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and the plot of Far From Home (2019) is also focused on his death; S.H.I.E.L.D. director and Avengers creator Nick Fury in the latter; and sorcerer Doctor Strange in No Way Home (2021), who casts a spell that makes the world forget Parker's existence.

Holland's version of the character is the successor to both the Peter Parker played by Tobey Maguire in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy (2002–2007) and the Peter Parker played by Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spider-Man duology (2012–2014), both of whom reprise their roles and appear in No Way Home as supporting characters to Holland's Parker. To distinguish himself from the other versions, he is referred to by the other Parkers as "Peter-One".

Parker is a central character in the MCU's "Infinity Saga", appearing in six MCU films as of 2022^[update]. A fourth Spider-Man film is in development with Holland expected to reprise his role. Alternate versions of Parker appear in the Disney+ animated series What If...? (2021—present) and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (2024), the former of which he is voiced by Hudson Thames. Holland has received praise and several accolades for his portrayal of Spider-Man.
