Robert Edwin Peary (Cresson, 6 de maio de 1856 - Washington, DC, 20 de fevereiro de 1920) foi um explorador polar norte-americano conhecido pela alegação de ter sido o primeiro homem a atingir o Polo Norte geográfico em 1909. A alegação de Peary foi aceita durante boa parte do século XX; entretanto, nos dias de hoje, ela é amplamente contestada, em favor da alegação de Frederick Cook, que afirma ter chegado ao polo um ano antes de Peary.
