Peter Jeffrey Revlon Revson (February 27, 1939 – March 22, 1974) was an American race car driver and heir to the Revlon cosmetics fortune. He was the Can-Am Champion for the 1971 season, and finished fifth overall in the World Drivers' Championship for both the 1972 and 1973 Formula One seasons.

Revson and Dan Gurney were the only two drivers to win races in Formula One, Indy Car, Can-Am, and Trans-Am racing. His champagne-spraying celebrations in victory lane and public image earned him the nickname "Champagne Peter".^[1]
