Peter Vogelius Deinboll (8 January 1783 Copenhagen – 13 May 1874 Aker, Norway) was a Danish-Norwegian priest, parliamentary representative and entomologist. He was the son of Christian Deinboll and Karen Christiane Holm, and lived most of his adult life in Norway, serving as a vicar in East Finnmark and later at Løten in Hedmark. He married Anna Marie Dorthea Deinboll and they raised a son August Thorvald Deinboll.[1]
His interest in politics led him to the Storting as representative of Finnmark for the terms 1821 and 1824.[2] For his considerable contributions to science and politics, he was made a knight of the Order of St. Olav.
