Peter Findon Bethune Alsop (13 June 1935 – 6 September 2014) was an Australian engineer and historian from Geelong, Victoria. He was responsible for researching and preserving many important road bridges and historic buildings in Geelong and the Victorian Western District.
Alsop was an engineer with the Country Roads Board for the Geelong District. While in that position, he argued successfully in a number of cases, that new, improved road alignments should be provided when historic bridges were to be replaced, which would save the bridge at the same time.
Alsop was on the committee of Engineering Heritage Victoria (which later was merged with the Institution of Engineers Australia), and the National Trust of Australia (Victoria).
Alsop was president of the Geelong Historical Society from 1984 to 2007. His large corpus of publications has been indexed and referenced by the State Library of Victoria.
