Joseph Reginald Hyde Peacocke (23 March 1904 – December 1961) was an Irish first-class cricketer.

Peacocke was born at Dublin in March 1904, and was educated in England at Rossall School.[1] After finishing his schooling at Rossall, he returned to Ireland to study at Trinity College, Dublin.[1] Joining the Dublin University Cricket Club, he accompanied the team on their 1925 tour of England, where he played in a first-class match against Northamptonshire at Northampton.[2] The following year, he played a first-class match for Ireland against Scotland at Glenpark.[2] Across his two first-class matches, Peacocke scored 86 runs with a highest score of 48.[3] Besides playing club cricket for Dublin University, he also played a few matches for Phoenix.[1] By the early 1930s, his work was taking him to different parts of the British Empire.[1] In 1931, while in Egypt, he played a minor match for Gezira Sports Club at Cairo.[4] In 1933, while in British India, he played a minor match for Punjab and North West Frontier against the Free Foresters at Lahore.[4] He died at Umtali in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in December 1961, today modern day Zimbabwe.[1]
