Peter Rock (born 1967) is an American novelist born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. His fiction often focuses on characters on the fringe of society — outsiders, wanderers — and allows his readers to see into the minds of these otherwise invisible characters.[citation needed]

Rock is a professor of creative writing at Reed College and lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife and daughters.
