Peter Joseph Andrew Hammill, né le 5 novembre 1948 à Ealing, est un chanteur auteur-compositeur-interprète britannique, membre fondateur du groupe rock progressif Van der Graaf Generator. Bien qu’il soit pianiste et guitariste, c’est sa voix qui le distingue le plus. Il est également producteur de ses disques et occasionnellement de ceux d’autres artistes. Peter parle couramment l'italien. Il est marié depuis 1978 à Hilary, à qui l'on attribue la prise de la photo pour la couverture de In a Foreign Town. Ils ont trois enfants, Holly, Beatrice et Phoebe. Holly et Beatrice Hammill chantent des voix de soprano sur une chanson de Everyone You Hold et sur deux autres de None of the Above. Holly Hammill a écrit la chanson "Eyebrows" sur Unsung et co-écrit "Personality" sur Everyone You Hold[réf. nécessaire].
