Peter Bellamy (1944–1991) was an English folk singer who founded The Young Tradition in 1965 with Royston Wood and Heather Wood. The group performed traditional British folk music, sung without instrumental accompaniment, and was heavily influenced by the Copper Family from Sussex.

After The Young Tradition disbanded in 1969, Bellamy pursued a solo career focused on traditional English music. His first solo album Mainly Norfolk (1968) drew heavily on the repertoire of Norfolk singer Harry Cox, and he later accompanied himself on Anglo concertina. He is particularly noted for his ballad-opera The Transports. Bellamy struggled with depression and died by suicide in 1991, at the age of forty-seven. Much of his influence on the English folk revival became clearer after his death, with The Transports receiving notable revivals and his scholarly approach to traditional song increasingly recognized.
