Peter Kinzing (1745-1816) was a noted German Mennonite clock maker.

Kinzing was born in Neuwied, Germany, and made his first pendulum clock at age ten. He began work with German ébéniste David Roentgen circa 1770; Roentgen made the cases, and Kinzing produced the complicated mechanisms with chimes or pendulums. In 1785 both were honored with titles from the French monarchy, with Kinzing becoming horloger de la reine (Clockmaker to the Queen).

Kinzing died in 1816 in Mannheim, Germany.
