Peter G. Palumbo[2] (born March 27, 1961 in Providence, Rhode Island) was an American politician and a Democratic member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives representing District 16 since January 2003, until his defeat in 2014. Palumbo served consecutively from January 1995 until January 2003 in the District 25 seat.

Palumbo is perhaps best remembered for his comments regarding Jessica Ahlquist, a high school student who successfully sued to have a prayer removed from her Rhode Island public high school auditorium. On the day following the ruling, Peter Palumbo spoke on a local radio show and referred to Ahlquist as "an evil little thing".[3]
