Peter Hawthorn Ashdown (born 16 October 1934 Danbury Essex) is a former motor racing driver. He drove in a single Formula One World Championship Grand Prix racing a Cooper. Prior to Formula One he was one of the leaders of the British Formula Junior scene but an accident at Rouen-Les-Essarts in 1958 in which he broke his collarbone considerably hampered his career. He continued racing in a Formula Two Cooper-Climax entered by Alan Brown at the 1959 British Grand Prix at Aintree.
