Peter Parry was an English hymn translator and religious writer active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born in 1771, he was involved in translating hymns and sacred texts during a period of significant activity in English Nonconformist hymnody. Though specific details about his life remain sparse in historical records, Parry's work as a translator contributed to the broader expansion of English-language hymn literature in the Methodist and other Nonconformist traditions. His translations helped make continental and classical hymnic material accessible to English-speaking congregations during the Romantic era.
