Peter Gott (22 May 1653 – 16 April 1712), of Stanmer, Sussex and Hatton Garden, London, was an English ironmaster and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1690 and 1712.
This gave him sufficient electoral interest to stand for Sussex at the 1708 British general election.
He was rewarded for his loyalty to the Whigs by the appointment of his younger son, Peter Goff, as receiver-general of the land tax for Sussex in January 1710.
At the 1710 British general election he was returned as MP for Lewes in place of his son Samuel.
[1] Gott died in 1712 aged 58, possibly by suicide having allegedly hanged himself, and was buried on 16 April 1712 at St Saviour's, Southwark.
[1] Samuel inherited Stanmer but had to sell it in 1712 to pay £10,000 to the Treasury for his brother Peter's debts as receiver-general.
