Petar Dertliev (Bulgarian: Петър Дертлиев) (April 7, 1916 – November 5, 2000) was a Bulgarian politician. He was a Social Democrat and was born in Pisarovo, Pleven Province.
Dertliev was educated as a doctor. He graduated in medicine in 1941. He was briefly an assistant in the Department of Anatomy at the Medical Faculty of Sofia University.
His career was marked by political persecution exercised against him. From 1957 to 1963, he worked in the TB-dispensary for children in Tryavna and Pernik. From then until his retirement in 1984 he was head of the fluorographic department of the Institute of Tuberculosis at the Medical College.
Dertliev was, in his own words, more of a "social democrat than a teenager". He participated in strikes and held political stands. He was first arrested in 1936 during a student protest for restoration of the Tarnovo Constitution. He was repeatedly arrested for opposition activities against the regime established after 1934. In 1938 he came under investigation for illegally printing and distributing materials during elections.
On September 9, 1944, he became a member of the Committee of the Fatherland Front at Sofia University and the Medical Faculty. He was a secretary of the Union of Socialist Youth.
In 1946, he was sent to Camp "Rosica" for opposition activities against the regime. That same year he was elected to parliament in the Grand National Assembly. In 1948, his parliamentary immunity was revoked and Dertliev was sentenced to ten years in prison "for counter-revolutionary activities". He was imprisoned in Venchan and Belene (2-fold), Pleven Prison, criminal division and in jail for repeat offenders in Pazardzhik.
