Edward Armour Peck (11 September 1858 – 18 July 1947) was a Conservative member of the Canadian House of Commons. He was born in Alfriston, Sussex, England and became a barrister.

Peck moved from the United Kingdom to Canada in 1869. He attended Peterborough Collegiate Institute and from 1898 to 1904 served as a warden of Peterborough County.[1]

From 1911 to 1914, he was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario at the Peterborough West provincial riding.[1]

He was first elected to Parliament at the Peterborough West federal riding in the 1925 general election then re-elected in 1926 and 1930. After completing his third term, the 17th Canadian Parliament, Peck left federal politics and did not seek another term in the 1935 election.
