Peter Brandes (born 5 March 1944 in Assens, Denmark) is a Danish painter, sculptor, ceramic artist and photographer.

Brandes' art is abstract and often in brown colours. He had his breakthrough as artist in the beginning of the 1980s.

Brandes is self-taught and his art circles around themes from Christianity. Also the ancient Greek mythology has inspired his art. Brandes has illustrated a number of books, for example Homer’s Iliad. A great part of Brandes' ceramic works are inspired by ancient Greek art and mythology
