Peter George Bush, CNZM, QSO (born 1930) is a New Zealand photographer and photojournalist, best known as the country's leading sports photographer. He has also served as a war correspondent, and is the long-serving vice president of the National Press Club.

Since then he has photographed most All Black matches in a career that has spanned over 60 years. A major exhibition of his sixty-year career of rugby photographs, "Hard on the heels", toured thirteen centres on New Zealand in 2010–11.[1]
Bush was made Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the 2011 New Year Honours list, for services to photography.[2] He lives in and works from Island Bay in Wellington.
He is a nephew of 1931 All Black Ronald Bush
