Captain Peter Rainier CB (24 August 1784–13 April 1836) was a Royal Navy officer of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Due to the patronage of his uncle, Vice-Admiral Peter Rainier, he was promoted quickly through the ranks so that by the age of twenty he was already a post-captain. He was given command of the 36-gun frigate HMS Caroline and on 18 October 1806 he fought a successful action in her against the Dutch 36-gun frigate at Batavia. He captured the treasure ship St Raphael in January 1807 off the Philippines, which had on board £500,000 worth of bullion coin. He left Caroline later in the year and received his next command, the 38-gun frigate , in June 1813. In Niger he participated in the capture of the French 44-gun frigate Ceres off the Cape Verde Islands in January 1814.
