Peter Andreas Munch (1810 - 1863) (usually known as P. A. Munch) was a Norwegian historian, known for his work on the medieval history of the nation that had recently regained its independence. He was one of the first non-Catholics to be allowed into the archives of the Vatican. His research there laid the foundation for his main work, Det norske Folks Historie (History of the Norwegian People), in eight volumes.
Munch was the uncle of the painter Edvard Munch.
