Sir Peter Vanlore (c. 1547 – 6 September 1627) was a Dutch-born English merchant, jeweller and moneylender in Elizabethan and Stuart England.[1]

He was born circa 1547 in Utrecht, Netherlands, the third son of Maurits van Loor and his wife Stephania; Maurits Van Loor had a brother named Dirk Van Loor, and a sister named Marietje Van Loor. The parents of Maurits were Pieter Van Loor and Barbara Bolart. About 1568, he moved to England. On or before 19 July 1585, while living in the parish of St Benet Sherehog, he married Jacoba, daughter of Henry Teighbott or Thibault.
