Peter Mathias Coffin (born July 20, 1984) is a former member of the defunct sketch comedy group (The Stupid Show), filmmaker, and musician from Watervliet, Michigan.

Peter is also a blogger (see petercoffin.com, his site) as well as an internet performance artist. The most known of his web pranks was when he inserted himself into a Nicolas Cage movie called "Time Share" on IMDB. It was done simply by clicking the "update" link on the bottom of the movie's entry and filling in the appropriate information. The deed itself was executed sometime in August 2005 and was actually added to IMDB in October 2005. Coffin has never admitted on record that this was a prank, but acknowledges trickery on several blog entries. He also claimed to have talked to Nicolas Cage on the phone about the movie. Up until roughly May, 2006, the IMDB entry contained Coffin's name but it has since been removed. Other people have since added him to the description of the movie as well, which remained as "When two families are booked for the same time share, both fathers (Cage and Smith) square off against one another. Peter Coffin stars as Cage's son Charles" for several months.

Peter appeared on Steve Harvey's Big Time twice in November of 2004 as a contestant of the "Craziest Person in America" search. The "talent" for which he was cast on the show for was the ability to kick himself in the testicles.

He was a radio personality at a rock station, WIRX, in Benton Harbor, Michigan from 2003-2006.
