Tennent Harrington "Pete" Bagley (November 11, 1925 – February 20, 2014) was a CIA operations and counterintelligence officer who worked against the KGB during the Cold War. He is best known for having been, from June 1962 to August 1967, the principal case officer and interrogator of controversial KGB defector Yuri Nosenko, who claimed a couple of months after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy that the KGB had nothing to do with the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, during the two-and-a-half years he lived in the USSR.
