Sir Peter Leslie Crill KBE (February 1, 1925 – October 3, 2005) was Bailiff of Jersey from 1986 to 1995.

As a young man, he was one of the few people who successfully escaped from German-occupied Jersey during the Second World War. He later followed a legal career, and entered politics, being elected to the States of Jersey.

He gave up politics to become a Crown Officer, rising to become Deputy Bailiff and then succeeded Sir Frank Ereaut as Bailiff of Jersey in 1986.

Following his retirement in 1995, he was active in organizations promoting culture of Jersey, including the Société Jersiaise and the Jersey Arts Centre. His activities in latter years were curtailed by the onset of motor neurone disease.
