Peter De Wint (21 ianuarie 1784 – 30 ianuarie 1849) a fost un pictor peisagist englez.

De Wint a fost fiul unui fizician de origine olandeza care a venit in Anglia din New York si s-a nascut in Stone, Staffordshire. S-a mutat la Londra in 1802 si si-a facut ucenicia la John Raphael Smith, un gravor in mezzotint si pictor portretist. Si-a cumparat libertatea de la Smith in 1806, cu conditia sa-i livreze 18 picturi in doi ani. In 1806 l-a vizitat pe Lincoln pentru prima data impreuna cu pictorul de subiecte istorice William Hilton, R.A., cu a carui sora, Harriet, s-a casatorit in 1810. De Wint si Hilton au locuit in Broad Street, Golden Square, unde locuia si John Varley. Varley i-a predat lectii de arta lui De Wint si l-a prezentat Dr Monro, care conducea o academie pentru tinerii artisti. De Wint a expus pentru prima oara la Royal Academy in 1807, iar in anul urmator a expus la Gallery of Associated Artists in Watercolours. In 1809 a intrat la Royal Academy. A fost ales membru asociat la Old Watercolour Society in 1810 si a devenit membru deplin in urmatorul an. In 1812 a devenit membru al Society of Painters in Watercolours, unde a expus timp de cativa ani, precum si la Academie.

De Wint si-a dedicat viata artei, pictand in ulei cat si acuarele, fiind considerat unul dintre cei mai importanti acuarelisti englezi.
