Petar Malchev (1885-1964) was a Bulgarian public figure and long-time educator. Born in Plovdiv, he graduated from Knyaz Alexander I high school and from 1913 taught at the Commercial High School, becoming its director in 1927. He served on the board of the Plovdiv Popular Bank, edited its bulletin in 1914-1934 and the newspaper Cooperative Consciousness in 1935-1941. He was mayor of Plovdiv from 15 November 1939 to 26 November 1943. His term fell in the wartime period, and biographical notes record renamings of city boulevards and streets toward Bulgaria's then allies. After 9 September 1944 he was resettled to Hisarya.
