Peter Lee Lawrence (born Karl Hyrenbach, 21 February 1944 – 20 April 1974) was a German actor and a citizen of France.

Lawrence lived in Nice for several years with his mother and then in Rome (Italy) with his wife and son.

His first notable film role was a small, uncredited, but important appearance as the brother-in-law of Lee Van Cleef in For a Few Dollars More.

Once filming finished on Los Caballeros del Botón de Ancla, he was admitted to the Foundation Jimenez Diaz Hospital in Madrid, where he was operated on.

On 25 March 1974 Lawrence was admitted to the Villa Stuart Clinic in Rome with severe stomach pains.
