Peter Andreas Heuch (18 April 1756 – 5 December 1825) was a Norwegian merchant.

Heuch was a ship-owner based in the coastal town of Kragerø in Vestfold og Telemark county, Norway. He was among the wealthiest persons in Southern Norway.[1] He also helped found the Royal Frederick University (now University of Oslo) in 1811.[1]

He was the father of merchant and politician Johan Christian Heuch, Sr. and thus a grandfather of bishop and politician Johan Christian Heuch.[1]
