Peter J. Kelly (born 1956 or 1957) is a municipal civil servant, businessman and former politician. Kelly is the former Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) for Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, who was fired in May 2022. He is a former mayor of the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), Nova Scotia. Kelly was elected to Bedford town council in 1985, then became mayor in 1991. In 1995, in the newly amalgamated HRM, he was elected councillor for Bedford, Nova Scotia. In 2000, he was elected Mayor of the HRM. Under scrutiny for his role in the HRM concert scandal and as executor for the will of Mary Thibeault, Kelly left politics in 2012 citing 'personal reasons'.
