Peter Nicolas Cunningham FSA (1816–1869) was a British writer born in London, son of the Scottish author Allan Cunningham and his wife Jean (née Walker, 1791–1866).

In 1851 he appeared in an amateur production of a play Not So Bad As We Seem by Lord Lytton along with Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Mark Lemon, John Tenniel, Douglas Jerrold and others.
