Peter Tetteroo (8 July 1947 − 9 September 2002, aged 55) was a Dutch composer, pop musician and singer. He became known in 1965 as founder and lead singer of the Tee Set, a pop rock band formed in 1966, along with Gerard Romeyn, Polle Eduard, Carry Janssen and Robbie Plazier. His full name was Petrus Gerardus Anthonius Tetteroo, born in Delft, Netherlands.

In 1968 he had a top 10 hit with a solo album, his version of Red Red Wine. After the popularity of the Tee Set subsided, around 1980, there followed a four-year period in which the band remained inactive. Since 1983 the band was revived, although its work was mainly nostalgic "sixties". Despite a severe liver disease, Peter remained active to the end. He died at his home in Delft from liver cancer at the age of 55.
