Peter Friedhofen (25 February 1819 – 21 December 1860) was a German Roman Catholic professed religious and the founder of the Brothers of Mercy of Mary Help of Christians. Friedhofen worked as a chimney sweep with his older brother until the latter died. This prompted Friedhofen to take care of his brother’s widow and children until he founded his own religious order in mid-1850.
Pope John Paul II beatified Friedhofen in 1985.
