Harry Peters (28 April 1852 – 9 May 1941) was a German-born New Zealander, who was a mountaineer and helped to establish the main climbing route up Mount Taranaki. Born near Heide, Peters came to New Zealand in 1875. Within months of his arrival, he took up farming at Kaimiro in the Taranaki. His farm was on the slopes of Mount Taranaki and he first climbed the mountain in 1885, via a previously unused route. This became the popular route for ascending Mount Taranaki. From 1892 to 1898 he was the custodian of Tahurangi House, the permanent camp house that was established to serve as accommodation for climbers going up the mountain. He also served as a mountain guide, making nearly 90 ascents of Mount Taranaki until his retirement as custodian. For much of his later life, he was prominent in civic affairs in the region.
