Peter Philip Carey (born 7 May 1943) is an Australian novelist who has lived in New York City for more than three decades.
He is one of only five writers to have won the Booker Prize twice — the others being J. G. Farrell, J. M. Coetzee, Hilary Mantel and Margaret Atwood. Carey won his first Booker Prize in 1988, for Oscar and Lucinda, and won his second Booker Prize in 2001, for True History of the Kelly Gang. In May 2008, he was nominated for the Best of the Booker Prize.
