Peter Moraw (31 August 1935 – 8 April 2013) was a German historian. He served as a professor of Medieval History, German Regional History, and Economic and Social History at the University of Giessen until his retirement in 2003. Moraw's work in the latter half of the 20th century had a significant impact on research related to the Late Middle Ages in Germany. He is recognized for integrating social sciences and prosopography into medieval studies, as well as for his focus on structural history and social history in the context of university history. His volume on the late medieval period, From an Open Constitution to a Designed Consolidation of the Propylaea, History of Germany, became a key reference in the field.
