Peter Ashdown (born 16 October 1934 in Danbury, Essex) is a former Formula One driver who raced a Cooper in his single World Championship Grand Prix.
Prior to Formula One, he was one of the leaders of the British Formula Junior scene, but an accident at Rouen in 1958, in which he broke his collarbone, considerably hampered his career. He continued racing in a Formula 2 Cooper-Climax entered by Alan Brown at the 1959 British Grand Prix at Aintree. From there he drove a Formula Junior Lola and many small-engined sports cars, winning his class in the 1960 and 1962 1000km Nürburgring. He retired in 1962.
