{{short description|Pakistani politician}} '''Peter Paul Gomez''' was a Christian member of the parliament of Pakistan representing East Bengal. Born in 1918, he completed his bachelor's degree from Dhaka University and was employed as an insurance agent in a life insurance company. During India's freedom struggle, he had participated in trade union activities. In the 1955 Constituent Assembly election, Gomez was elected to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan on a Pakistan National Congress ticket. Gomez, alongside Cecil Edward Gibbon, were the only Pakistani Christian representatives. After the Bangladesh Liberation War, Gomez was the lone candidate from the Congress (now renamed as Bangladesh National Congress) who stood in the 1973 elections but failed to win.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Rahman (Sheikh) |first1=Mujibur |title=Speeches of Sheikh Mujib in Pakistan Parliament: 1955-56 |date=1990 |publisher=Hakkani Publishers |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CwAMAAAAIAAJ&q=Peter+Paul+Gomez+pakistan |accessdate=26 June 2019 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Constituent Assembly (Legislature) of Pakistan Debates: Official Report |date=1956 |publisher=Manager of Publications |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=a3UzBPjJAbQC&q=Peter+Paul+Gomez+pakistan |accessdate=26 June 2019 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Sohail |first=Amber |title=Positive Economic Analysis of the Constitutions - Case of Formation of the First Constitution of Pakistan |publisher=PhD dissertation at Phillips Universität Marburg |year=2012 |chapter=VII - Short biographical sketches of members of Constituent Assembly}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Bangladesh Election Commission |url=https://www.ecs.gov.bd/index.php?&electionid=1&party=13&PartyName=Bagladesh%20Jatiya%20Congress&id=partywise |url-status=dead |access-date=2025-05-08 |website=www.ecs.gov.bd}}</ref>
