Robert "Bobby" Peel (12 February 1857 – 12 August 1941) was a Yorkshire and England cricketer: a left-arm spinner who ranks as one of the finest bowlers of the 1890s. He was also a capable batsman, who once hit 210 not out (out of a record County Championship total of 887 against Warwickshire). He was also first player in Test cricket history to have been dismissed four times in succession without scoring (in 1894/1895).

Born in Leeds, Yorkshire, Peel emerged in first-class cricket for Yorkshire in 1882, and quickly established himself as a skillful and accurate left-arm spin bowler with the ability to bowl a fast ball that obtained many wickets. He was consider good enough that, even though he was relatively inexperienced, Alfred Shaw took him to Australia in 1884/1885 where he appeared in all three Tests. He took 21 wickets, including five wickets in the second innings on debut, but played disappointingly in the dry summer of 1885. Despite recovering his form, Peel did not play in the three 1886 Tests, but in 1887/1888 he played superbly at the Sydney Cricket Ground, taking nine wickets for 58 runs and being England's match-winner.
