Peter Vodopivec (born 7 July 1946) is a Slovenian historian and public intellectual.[1]

He was born in a Slovene family in Belgrade, Serbia, then capital of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He studied History, Comparative Literature and Sociology at the University of Ljubljana.[2] He received a PhD in History in 1978 with his thesis "Middle Class Social and Economic Ideas in Inner-Austria in Pre-March period", and afterwards worked as a researcher on the Age of Enlightenment in France and in the United States.[2]

During the late 1960s, he was active in the student movement in Slovenia.[3] In the 1980s, he was one of the co-founders of the alternative journal Nova revija.[1][3] In 1989, he was among the founding members of the Slovenian Democratic Union.[1] After 1992, he left politics and dedicated himself to scholarly work.

He was Professor of Modern European and American History at the University of Ljubljana from 1980 to 1999.[4]

Since 1999 he has been a senior research fellow at the Institute for Modern History in Ljubljana.[4]
