Pieter Boddaert (1730 - 1795 or 1796) was a Dutch physician and naturalist.

Boddaert was a lecturer on natural history at the University of Utrecht. In 1783 he published fifty copies of an identification key of Edmé-Louis Daubenton's Planches enluminees, assigning scientific names to the plates. As many of these were the first scientific names to be proposed they remain in use.

In 1785 he published Elenchus Animalium, which included the first binomial names for a number of mmamals, including the Quagga and the Tarpan.
