Peter J. Carroll (born c. 1952) is a modern occultist, author and co-founder of the Illuminates of Thanateros.

Carroll was an archetypical magus and traveled extensively in India, Tibet and Australia.

In PsyberMagick, Carroll announced his desire to step down from the "roles of magus and pontiff of chaos" with the closing statement: "the author chooses to maintain an antique and idiosyncratic code of chivalry, honor, and heroism in an era largely devoid of such things...and values uniqueness in an era of mass production" (ch. 59) He has now departed from magic as a field of study and discusses the hypothesis of three-dimensional time.
