Peter John Mead (born August 2, 1945) is an American politician who served as the Governor of Huron from 1987 until 1991 and is best known as a member of the prominent Mead family of Huron, being the son of two-time Governor and later Commerce Secretary and Ambassador to Portugal John Mead, and as the cousin of Patrick Mead, a successor as Governor of Huron and 2008 Nationalist Presidential nominee. Mead unsuccessfully ran for a second term as Governor in 1994, losing to Democrat Chevy Stevens, and similarly failed to secure Huron's Senate seat in 1996 and 2000.
