Peter Heylin (1600 - 1662) was an English ecclesiastical writer.
He was born at Burford, Oxfordshire, and was one of the clerical followers of King Charles I of England. He suffered for his loyalty to the king, when he was deprived under the Commonwealth of his living of Alresford and other preferments. After the Restoration he was made sub-Dean of Westminster, but poor health prevented further advancement. He was a voluminous writer, and a keen and acrimonious controversialist against the Puritans. Among his works are a History of the Reformation, and a Life of Archbishop William Laud (Cyprianus Anglicanus) (1668).
