Peter Curtis Lamont (born 12 November 1929) is a noted set decorator, art director, and production designer most famous for working on eighteen James Bond films, from Goldfinger to Casino Royale. The only Bond film that he did not work on during that period was Tomorrow Never Dies.

Throughout his near 60-year career, Lamont has been nominated for three Academy Awards for his work on Fiddler on the Roof (1971), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Aliens (1986).[1] He was nominated a fourth time and won for Titanic (1997).

On August 22, 1982, Lamont was a passenger on an Indian Airlines flight from Mumbai to New Delhi, which was hijacked by a lone Sikh militant, armed with a pistol and a hand grenade. Indian security forces killed the hijacker and rescued all passengers, including Lamont.
