Captain Peter Hare (11 May 1748 — 6 April 1834) was a company officer in Butler's Rangers, a militia unit during the American Revolutionary War, and British Loyalist.

[1] After the war ended Hare emigrated and settled with his family in Lincoln County, Ontario where he farmed until his death in 1834.

Hare was born on 11 May 1748 in Mohawk River, Tryon County, New York, United States.

Due to actions by their allies, Iroquois under the command of Joseph Brant, the unit as a whole was seen as savage.

When the war ended Hare moved to Lincoln County in Ontario where he, like several other veterans who had served with Butler's Rangers, was granted land to farm.
