Lenrie Leopold Wilfred Peters (1 September 1932 – 28 May 2009)[1] was a Gambian surgeon, novelist, poet and educationist.

Lenrie Sr. was a Sierra Leone Creole of West Indian or black American origin.

While at Cambridge University he was elected president of the African Students' Union, and interested himself in Pan-Africanist politics.

Peters worked in hospitals in Guildford and Northampton before returning to the Gambia, where he had a surgical practice in Banjul.
