Peter Frederick Strawson (born November 23, 1919 in London) is a philosopher associated with the ordinary language philosophy movement within analytical philosophy. He was the Waynflete Professor of Metaphysical Philosophy at the University of Oxford from 1968 to 1987. Strawson first became well known with his article “On Referring” (1950), a criticism of Russells Theory of Descriptions (see also Definite descriptions).

Strawson's important books include: Introduction to Logical Theory, Individuals: An Essay in Descriptive Metaphysics, and The Bounds of Sense: An Essay on Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason.

Stawson was knighted in 1977, so he is also known as Sir Peter Strawson. He is the father of Galen Strawson.
