The formation of peanut pod requires movement of the embryo from air to ground and then development in the soil, which is a complex biological process involving transport and accumulation of sugars. Sugar transport proteins (STP) mediate the transport of monosaccharides in various physiological processes, including fertilization, ovary formation, and seed development. In this study, a total of 36 <em>AhSTP</em> genes (<em>AhSTP1–36</em>) containing the conserved sugar_tr motif were identified in the <em>A. hypogaea</em> genome. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that <em>AhSTP</em> genes were classified into four clades, and the arrangement of motifs in AhSTP proteins was similar within clades. Synteny analysis revealed that segmental duplication events have played an important role in the expansion of <em>STP</em> genes in peanut, and chromosome rearrangements might have facilitated the exchange of <em>STP</em> genes between the A and B sub-genomes. Transcriptome analyses revealed that the expression patterns of <em>AhSTP</em> genes varied among tissues. Hormone and abiotic stress treatments could up-regulate or down-regulate the expression of <em>AhSTP</em> genes, and low temperature had a major effect on the expression of most <em>AhSTP</em> genes. Four <em>AhSTP</em> genes (<em>AhSTP3</em>, <em>AhSTP9</em>, <em>AhSTP19</em>, and <em>AhSTP28</em>) were specifically expressed in the pod, indicating that these genes might be involved in pod formation and development in peanut.
