Peter Redmond Scanlon (February 13, 1931 – December 3, 2009) was an American accountant and business executive who is best known for being the chairman and chief executive officer of Coopers & Lybrand, one of the Big Eight auditors, from 1982 to 1991. At a time when other accounting firms were merging, Scanlon kept Coopers & Lybrand independent and grew it through expansion rather than mergers.
