Peadar Seán Doyle (died 4 August 1956)[1] was an Irish politician. An engineer by profession, his son Seán was killed by British forces at Kilmashogue in the Dublin Mountains on Sunday, 19 September 1920.[2]

Doyle was first elected to Dáil Éireann as a Cumann na nGaedheal Teachta Dála (TD) for the Dublin South constituency at the 1923 general election.[3] He was re-elected at each subsequent general election until his death in 1956.[4]

From 1937 onwards, he was re-elected as a Fine Gael TD and from 1948 he was elected for the Dublin South-West constituency.[4] He served as Lord Mayor of Dublin from 1941 to 1943 and from 1945 to 1946.[5][1] He was the first Fine Gael Lord Mayor.
