Robert Edwin Peary, född 6 maj 1856 i , Pennsylvania, död 20 februari 1920 i Washington, D.C., var en amerikansk mariningenjör och som tidigare ansågs officiellt, dock omtvistat, ha varit den förste expeditionsledaren som nått Nordpolen till fots 1909. Polarforskaren Frederick Cook påstod att han redan 1908 hade besökt Nordpolen men ganska omgående avskrevs hans påstående som falsarium.
