Peter Paul Dobrée (26 June 1782 – 24 September 1825) was a British classical scholar and critic.

[1][2] He was educated at Reading School under Richard Valpy and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was elected fellow.

[3] Dobrée was an intimate friend of Richard Porson, whom he took as his model in textual criticism, although he showed less caution in conjectural emendation.

Two years later, he published the Lexicon of Photius from Porson's transcript of the Gale manuscript in Trinity College library, to which he appended a Lexicon rhetoricum, from the margin of a Cambridge manuscript of Harpocration.

[5] James Scholefield, his successor in the Greek professorship, brought out selections from his notes (Adversaria, 1831–1833) on Greek and Latin authors (especially the orators), and a reprint of the Lexicon rhetoricum, together with notes on inscriptions (1834–1835).
