Petrus (Peter) de Witte (1622 - 1669) was a Nadere Reformatie divine. He wrote Catechizatie over den Heidelberghschen Catechismus der gereformeerde christelicke religie (Catechization on the Heidelberg Catechism), which was commended by Jacobus Koelman in The Duties of Parents. He was a minister of the Voetian school (de Witte's commentary on the Catechism is said to have been more influential than that of Gisbertus Voetius, cf. Jonathan N. Gerstner, The Thousand Generation Covenant: Dutch Reformed Covenant Theology and Group Identity in Colonial South Africa, 1652 - 1814, p. 124).
