Peter Rudolph Hruby (June 22, 1921 – September 26, 2017) was a Czech academic and writer.
Born in Prague, Czech Republic in June 1921, he studied at Charles University in the city after it reopened in 1945 after World War II. He studied philosophy, psychology, literature and languages and organized three national programs: Week of Children’s Joy, 1946 & 1947 (introduced by President Edvard Beneš), Cultural Unity's Youth Club, and a vacation exchange program for Czech and Slovak children (introduced by President Benes’s wife).
After the Czechoslovak coup d'état of 1948 he exiled himself to Geneva. While there he founded the monthly journal Skutecnost ("Reality"). The first issue came out in the spring of 1949 and Peter Hruby edited it for two years. A selection of articles from Skutecnost are available in a collection titled Hluboka Stopa (A Lasting Impression), published by Vilém Prečan in 2008.

He returned to Geneva in 1978 to defend his Ph.D. dissertation, entitled Czechoslovakia Between the West and the East: The Changing Role of Communist Intellectuals. He was a visiting professor at Carleton University in 1985. In 2000 he moved back to Prague and taught at Charles University from 2001 to 2007.
