Peter Ballantine (November 16, 1791 – January 23, 1883) was the founder of Patterson & Ballantine Brewing Company in 1840 in Newark, New Jersey, United States.
He was born on November 16, 1791, in Dundee, Scotland. He emigrated to Albany, New York, in 1820 and learned brewing. By 1830 he had established his own brewery there.
