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.
