Peter David Lax (Boedapest, Hongarije, 1 mei 1926) is een Hongaars-Amerikaans wiskundige die zowel in de zuivere als toegepaste wiskunde actief is geweest. Hij heeft onder andere belangrijke bijdragen geleverd aan integreerbare systemen, de stromingsleer en schokgolven, solitonische natuurkunde, hyperbolische behoudswetten en de wiskundige informatica.

Hij heeft aan het Manhattanproject meegewerkt. Eerst werkte hij als calculator bediende, daarna droeg hij bij met wiskunde op een hoger niveau. Hij werkte onder natuurkundige Robert Serber in de afdeling Theoretische Natuurkunde en aan kwesties van neutronentransport met Enrico Fermi.

Na de oorlog behaalde hij een doctoraat in 1949.

In 2005 werd aan hem de Abelprijs uitgereikt. In 2013 ontving Lax de Gouden Lomonosov-medaille van de Russische Academie van Wetenschappen.
