Peter Carroll is about the author. For the American football coach, see: Pete Carroll.

Peter James Carroll (born 8th January 1953, Patching, England) is a modern occultist, author and co-founder of the Illuminates of Thanateros.

Carroll travelled extensively in India, Tibet and Australia. Through his books and the Illuminates of Thanateros, he quickly became one of the best-known European occultists. He is commonly credited with coinage of the idea and term of chaos magic, although he would be more accurately portrayed as a leading figure of the part of the occult scene that evolved into chaos magicians.

In 1995, Carroll announced his desire to step down from the "roles of magus and pontiff of chaos" with the closing statement: "the author chooses to maintain an antique and idiosyncratic code of chivalry, honour, and heroism in an era largely devoid of such things...and values uniqueness in an era of mass production" (PsyberMagick, ch. 59) With this, he departed from magic as a field of study and concentrated on the hypothesis of three-dimensional time.

In 2005 however, he appeared as a chaos magic instructor at Robert Anton Wilson's Maybe Logic Academy and announced another book on the subject.
