Sir Peter Carew (1514? – 27 November 1575) of Mohuns Ottery, Luppitt, Devon, was an English adventurer, who served during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England and took part in the Tudor conquest of Ireland. His biography was written by his friend and legal adviser, the Devon historian John Hooker (d. 1601).

He is sometimes referred to as Sir Peter Carew the elder, to distinguish him from his first cousin and immediate heir Sir Peter Carew, who was killed at the Battle of Glenmalure in 1580.
