Peter P. Garibaldi (September 12, 1931 – August 20, 2023) was an American tradesman, accountant, military officer, and Republican politician who served in the New Jersey General Assembly from 1968 to 1974 and in the New Jersey Senate from 1984 to 1988. His personal popularity and reputation as a political maverick led him to win multiple elections in Democratic territory; his victory in the 1983 New Jersey Senate election was the first for a Republican in Middlesex County in 54 years. He ran unsuccessfully as the Republican nominee for United States House of Representatives in 1970 and 1972.
