Pieter Hendrik Schoute (21 January 1846, Wormerveer – 18 April 1913, Groningen) was a Dutch mathematician known for his work on regular polytopes and Euclidean geometry.

He started his career as a civil engineer, but became a professor of mathematics at Groningen and published some thirty papers on polytopes between 1878 and his death in 1913.^[1] He collaborated with Alicia Boole Stott on describing the sections of the regular 4-polytopes.^[2]

In 1886, he became member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.^[3]
