Petar (Petre) Kosturcheto, also known as Kosta Kosturski, was a Bulgarian revolutionary and active member of the Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organisation (IMARO).
He was born in the village of Kumanichevo, now part of the Greek town of Lithia. Petar Kosturcheto joined IMARO and in 1908 became voivode of the lowland detachment in the Prilep area.
In July 1908, after the proclamation of the Young Turk Revolution, Petar Kosturcheto made a ceremonial entry into the town of Prilep. This event can be seen as an expression of the popularity of and support for the revolutionary movement in the region, part of the wider struggle to liberate the Macedonian and Adrianople Bulgarians from Ottoman rule and secure their autonomy.
