Peter John Locke King (25 January 1811, Ockham, Surrey – 12 November 1885, Weybridge) was an English politician.

King sat and held one of the two seats as Member of Parliament (MP) for East Surrey from 1847 to 1874. He won some fame as an advocate of reform, responsible for the passing of the Real Estate Charges Act 1854, and for the repeal of many obsolete laws. Increasingly as politics in the United Kingdom turned toward the left wing he sided with the mainstream progressive wing of the Liberal Party.
