Per "Pelle" Helmer Petterson (born July 21, 1932) is a Swedish sailor and yacht designer.

He also designed Volvo's successful sports car P1800 while he was a student of Pietro Frua.

He won Olympic medals for Starboat racing in 1964 and 1972.

In 2004, he received an award from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.
