<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
John Peel (4 February 1804 – 2 April 1872)[1] was an English Liberal Party politician.
Peel was the son of Thomas Peel of Peelfold. He was educated at Manchester Grammar School, and became a merchant.[2]
Peel was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Tamworth at a by-election in October 1863,[3] following the succession to the peerage of the Liberal MP Viscount Raynham.[4] He was re-elected in 1865,[5] but was defeated at the 1868 general election by Henry Bulwer.[3]
When Bulwer was elevated to the peerage in 1871, Peel was elected unopposed[3] in his place,[6] and held the seat until his own death in April 1872,[3] aged 68.[1]
Peel was also a Justice of the Peace for Warwickshire and Staffordshire.[2]
