Robert Edwin Peary (* 6. Mai 1856 in Gallitzin, Pennsylvania; † 20. Februar 1920 in Washington, D.C.) war ein US-amerikanischer Ingenieur und Polarforscher. Er behauptete, im Jahre 1909 als erster Mensch den Nordpol erreicht zu haben. Dies wurde jedoch seither immer wieder stark angezweifelt und ist bis heute Gegenstand heftiger Kontroversen.
