Percy Edgar Everett, (born 26 June 1888, died 6 May 1967), was appointed chief architect of the Victorian Public Works Department in 1934 and is best known for the striking Modernist / Art Deco schools, hospitals, court houses, office buildings and technical colleges the department produced over the next 20 years.
His most well known design is the Police Headquarters at Russell Street (1940–1943), giving Melbourne "its first Gotham City silhouette".

He was also adept at designing in historicist, domestic and rustic styles when aproropriate.
