Peter Rudolf de Vries (born November 14, 1956) is a Dutch investigative journalist and crime reporter. His television program covers high profile cases and set a Dutch television viewing record. In 2005, he started his own political party which was disbanded soon after.

Peter Rudolf de Vries was born on 14 November 1956 in Aalsmeer in the Netherlands. He went to primary school in Amstelveen and to secondary school in Amsterdam. From 1976 to 1977 he was in military service, where he had the rank of sergeant.

In 1978, he became a journalist for the daily newspaper De Telegraaf in The Hague and later in Amsterdam. He gradually moved from general journalism to crime and he reported about major criminal cases in the Netherlands. In 1987, he resigned from De Telegraaf and became chief editor of the weekly magazine Aktueel, which he transformed into a crime magazine.

Since 1991, de Vries has been an independent crime journalist. In 2005, De Vries tracked down Frans Meijer, one of the men who had kidnapped Freddy Heineken in 1983, in Paraguay, investigated the murder of Christel Ambrosius, and revealed that Mabel Wisse Smit knew the drug lord Klaas Bruinsma better than she had previously admitted. Another important issue in his show was a found floppy-disk. This disk contained detailed information from AIVD research, the Dutch secret service. It turned out that the service observed the murdered politician Pim Fortuyn; the service thought that he had sexual relations with Moroccan men.
