Hans Peter Bull (born 17 October 1936) is a German constitutional lawyer and jurist.
He served between 1978-1985 as West Germany's first Federal Commissioner for Data Protection.
It was widely believed that he was appointed at the eleventh hour only after the anticipated appointee, Spiros Simitis, had turned the job down because previously agreed levels of resourcing were dramatically cut at the last minute.
Bull took on the job in an atmosphere of continuing scepticism over the levels of government commitment to data protection and Information Technology legislation more generally.
