Oscar Emmanuel Peterson (Montréal, 15 agosto 1925 – Mississauga, 23 dicembre 2007) è stato un pianista canadese di musica jazz. È stato un grande virtuoso del pianoforte, al punto di essere definito maharaja della tastiera da Duke Ellington, nonché uno dei pianisti più prolifici della storia della musica afroamericana. Peterson è anche autore di numerosi testi di esercizi jazz per giovani pianisti oltre che grande compositore. La sua personale e sbalorditiva tecnica pianistica, al servizio di un potente swing, lo rende stilisticamente immediatamente riconoscibile all'interno di qualsiasi contesto.
