Sir Peter Winston Smith (born 1 May 1952), styled The Hon Mr Justice Peter Smith, was a judge of the High Court of Justice in England and Wales, appointed to that office on 15 April 2002 and assigned to the Chancery Division.
His name was correctly abbreviated in English legal writing as "Peter Smith J," and not as "Smith J," because there were other senior judges also named Smith.
He was the subject of comment and investigation in relation to his judicial behaviour in various circumstances.
He retired on 28 October 2017.
