Piter De Vries is a fictional character from Frank Herbert's Dune science fiction series.

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
He is a "twisted" mentat in the service of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. His "twisted" nature is obvious, most notably in him being a sadist and acting as a torturer for the Baron. Generally regarded as architect of the plan to destroy the Harkonnen's long time enemy, House Atreides, while returning the Baron's stewardship over Arrakis. De Vries is unusual in that despite his near- prescient mental abilities and intelligence, he serves the Baron with great enthusiasm knowing that one day his master plans on killing him. Piter was killed on Arrakis shortly after House Harkonnen's troups and Imperial Sardaukar had captured Duke Leto Atreides. He was assinated by Leto, who had been given a false tooth by Wellington Yueh, the Suk doctor who betrayed House Atreides. When the tooth was crushed, a poisonus gas emerged from the inner of it. The attack was ment to kill the Baron, but failed.
