Peter Truax (February 24, 1828 – March 18, 1909) was a philanthropist, businessman, farmer, and third-party politician in the Chippewa Valley of Wisconsin. Truax was a prominent figure in the Chippewa Valley and one of the richest men in the county. His acquisition of wealth was due to the many business ventures he took part in. Truax was one of the leaders of the Prohibitionist movement in the state and was nominated for state and federal office by organizations of that party on several occasions. He owned large stocks in the Bank of Eau Claire and the New Bank of Eau Claire.
