Peter Victor Deuster (February 13, 1831 – December 31, 1904) was an American printer, newspaper editor and publisher, and politician from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Born in Düren, Rhenish Prussia, Deuster immigrated to the United States with his parents, who settled on a farm near Milwaukee in May 1847. Deuster had pursued an academic course at a college in Düren, but left too young to graduate.
He completed his self-education in a printing office. He started a Milwaukee newspaper called the Hausfreund in 1852; it was later taken over by George Brumder's Germania Publishing. He moved to Port Washington, Wisconsin, in 1854 and edited a newspaper. He also served simultaneously as deputy postmaster, deputy clerk of the circuit court, clerk of the land office, and notary public.
He returned to Milwaukee in 1856 and edited the Milwaukee See-Bote (later Seebote), a German language Democratic daily paper, until 1860, when he became proprietor.
He served as a Democratic member of the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1863, succeeding fellow Democrat J. M. Stowell, and was succeeded in 1864 by J.C.U. Niedermann, elected on the National Union Party ticket.
