Peter Vogelius Deinboll (8 January 1783 Copenhagen – 13 May 1874 Aker, Norway) was a Danish-Norwegian priest, parliamentary representative and entomologist. He was the son of Christian Deinboll and Karen Christiane Holm, and lived most of his adult life in Norway, serving as a vicar in East Finnmark and later at Løten in Hedmark. He married Anna Marie Dorthea Deinboll and they raised a son August Thorvald Deinboll.[1]

His interest in politics led him to the Storting as representative of Finnmark for the terms 1821 and 1824.[2] For his considerable contributions to science and politics, he was made a knight of the Order of St. Olav.

The standard author abbreviation Deinboll is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[3]

He was honoured in 1827, when botanists Schumach. & Thonn.[4] named a genus of plants Deinbollia after him.[5]
