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

A ship-owner based in the coastal town of Kragerø, he was among the wealthiest persons in Southern Norway.[1] He also helped found the Royal Frederick University 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]
