Pieter Christoffel Wonder (Utrecht, 10 Jan 1780 - Amsterdam, 12 July 1852) was a Dutch painter, active in England.

Wonder was self-taught, although between 1802 and 1804 he did attend classes at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. In 1807 he established the Kunstliefde (Love of Art) Society in Utrecht together with other artists including Jan Kobell. Wonder primarily painted portraits, although he also painted some interior scenes in imitation of the Dutch 17th-century masters.^[1]
