Peter Scheemakers (16 January 1691 – 12 September 1781) was a Flemish Roman Catholic sculptor who worked for most of his life in London, Great Britain. Scheemakers is perhaps best known for executing the William Kent-designed sculpture of William Shakespeare which was erected in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey, London, in 1740, as well as that to John Dryden in the same church.
