Peregrine Bland (c 1596 - 1649) was an early settler of the Virginia Colony and a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses.

Bland was born in England and entered Emanuel College on February 26, 1613. In about 1635 he was transported to Virginia. He was elected a Burgess to represent Charles River county for 1639 to 1640 term.

He died by drowning in 1649 in Middlesex Co., Virginia and his will was proved on January 19, 1650. He is known to have had one daughter Hope Bland who is said to have married a William Beaumont. Many Americans can claim descent through his daughter Hope.
