Peter Gooden (died 1695) was an English Roman Catholic priest, who came to prominence as a controversialist during the reign of James II.
Born near Manchester, he was educated in the English College at Lisbon, and after being ordained priest was sent back to England on mission, in company with Edward Barlow, alias Booth.
At that period he had frequent discussion with Edward Stillingfleet, William Clagett, and other Church of England clergy.
The Glorious Revolution of 1688 obliged him to retire to his old place at Aldcliffe Hall, where he died on 29 December 1695.
He published: His conference with Stillingfleet gave rise to the publication of several controversial pamphlets, and The Summ of a Conference on Feb. 21, 1686, between Dr. Clagett and Father Gooden, about the point of Transubstantiation, was published in 1689–90 by William Wake.
