Peter Schousboe, more fully Peter (or Peder) Kofod Ancher (or Anker) Schousboe (1766 – 1832) was a Danish botanist. He was born in 1766 in Rønne, Denmark, and died in 1832 in Tangier, Morocco, having served as Danish consul general in Tangier from 1800 onwards. He conducted a botanical expedition in Spain and Morocco during the years 1791-93. Among the plants that he was the first to describe was the popular garden flower Salvia interrupta; the bushwillow genus Schousboea (now considered a synonym of Combretum) was named in his honour.

The standard author abbreviation Schousb. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[1]
