Peter Bromhead (born 31 May 1933) is a New Zealand commercial interior designer, cartoonist and illustrator.

Bromhead was born in Portsmouth, England, on 31 May 1933.[1] He trained as an industrial designer in England and Sweden and migrated to New Zealand in the 1950s,[2] and becoming a naturalised New Zealand citizen in 1979.[1] He was the editorial cartoonist for the Auckland Star from 1973 to 1989.[3]

In the 1999 Queen's Birthday Honours, Bromhead was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services as a cartoonist.[4] In 2008 he was made a life member as a Fellow of the Designers Institute of New Zealand.[5]

Bromhead was described by Richard Long, former editor of The Dominion Post, as probably the best pocket cartoonist operating in the British Commonwealth.[6] He has received 11 awards for cartooning at the Voyager Media Awards (previously Canon Media Awards and Qantas Media Awards).[7]
