Pieter Christoffel Wonder (10 January 1780, Utrecht - 12 July 1852, Amsterdam); Dutch painter, active in England.
Wonder was largely self-taught, by making copies of the Old Masters, although between 1802 and 1804 he did attend classes at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. In 1807 he established the "Genootschap Kunstliefde" (Love of Art Society) in Utrecht together with other artists including Jan Kobell, and served as Director.
From 1823 to 1831, he worked in England, where he became well known as a portrait painter, but also painted some interior scenes and copies of works by Raphael.

Pieter Christoffel Wonder was a student at the academy in Düsseldorf from 1802 to 1804. He further developed himself, partly by copying the work of Pieter Paul Rubens (1570-1644) and Anthonie van Dyck (1599-1641). The painter worked in Utrecht and lived in London in 1831. He helped establish the association Kunstliefde in Utrecht and was one of the first directors.
