Peter Doyle (born 1951) is an Australian author, musician, visual artist, and exhibition curator.

Biography
Peter Doyle was born in Maroubra, Sydney, New South Wales, and grew up in Sydney's eastern suburbs, which provide much of the setting for his fiction work.
He has a Bachelor of Arts (Communications) from UTS and a PhD in Media and Mass Communications on the renderings of virtual space in early popular music recording from Macquarie University (2002). He also maintains a research interest in comics and the graphic novel, the history of twentieth century popular music, as well as crime writing, both in Australia, and overseas.
He worked variously as a taxi driver, musician, and teacher prior to publishing his first novel, Get Rich Quick, in 1996, which won Australia's prestigious Ned Kelly Award for Best First Crime Novel in 1997. He followed this with a successful sequel, Amaze Your Friends, which won the Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Novel in 1998. His third novel, The Devil's Jump, released in 2001, was a prequel, set in Sydney in the closing days of World War II. A fourth title, The Big Whatever (2015), follows the exploits of anti-hero Billy Glasheen into the 1970s and, like its predecessors, presents an alternative history of the overlaps between the entertainment business and crime.
Doyle's curatorial work at the Sydney Justice and Police Museum saw him curate two major exhibitions, Crimes of Passion (2002–2003), and City of Shadows: Inner City Crime and Mayhem, 1912-1948 (November 2005-February 2007), both of which were social histories of inner-city twentieth century Sydney based on rediscovered crime scene photography from the period. The book which accompanied the second exhibition, City of Shadows: Sydney Police Photographs 1912-1948 (2005) drew global attention to the huge but hitherto little explored Forensic Photography Archive (FPA) held at the Justice and Police Museum.
Further research into 1920s-era mug shots held at the Justice and Police Museum led to Doyle's book Crooks Like Us (2009) which would inform production and styling for the British television series, Peaky Blinders, , as well as Bad Boys, a line of clothing by fashion designer Ralph Lauren (2011).
In 2013-14 Doyle curated the exhibition Suburban Noir at the Museum of Sydney, combining forensic photographs of the 1950s and 60s with original works by a range of local and overseas artists. In 2015 he curated the exhibition Pulp Confidential: Quick & Dirty Publishing from the 40s & 50s at the State Library of New South Wales, which showcased manuscripts, correspondence and artwork relating to Frank Johnson Publications, a Sydney-based pulp publisher from the 1940s and 1950s.
Peter Doyle is a noted slide and steel guitarist in the Sydney blues, rockabilly, country and pub rock scenes; his interest in music is also a strong influence in his fiction writing.
