Lawrence Peter Peterson (April 12, 1873 – September 7, 1951) was a provincial politician from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1921 to 1930 sitting with the United Farmers caucus in government.
Peterson ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature for the first time in the 1921 Alberta general election. He stood as a United Farmers candidate in the electoral district of Taber and won a close race over incumbent Archibald McLean to pick up the seat for his party.
Peterson ran for a second term in office in the 1926 Alberta general election. He lost some of his popular vote from the last election but defeated two other candidates with a large majority.
Peterson did not run for a third term in office and retired at dissolution of the assembly in 1930.
