Peter Weston is an influential British science fiction fan. Now retired, he currently lives in Birmingham, UK.

Peter's lifelong love of science fiction led him into fandom where he made many notable contributions in fan writing, fanzine editing, convention-running and in local SF clubs. His 1960s pseudonym "Malcolm Edwards" caused some confusion several years later, when a real Malcolm Edwards began contributing to British fanzines. They met in 1970.

He produced the first issue of Zenith (later Speculation) in 1963 and he edited the Andromeda series of original anthologies from 1975 till 1977. In 2006, following the success of his Hugo-nominated memoir With Stars in My Eyes, Peter relaunched his fanzine Prolapse, after a 23-year hiatus. He was rewarded with a pair of Nova Awards the following year, for "best fanzine" and "best fan" (the latter being a committee award).

In 1971, he co-founded and was chairman of the Birmingham Science Fiction Group (BSFG), and helped originate Novacon, the second series of annual British SF conventions, after Eastercon. He chaired Seacon '79, the third Worldcon to be held in the UK. Since 1984, the Hugo Awards rockets, which are presented at the annual Worldcon have been forged by the car-parts factory which Peter owned and managed until he retired.
