Dwayne John Peel (born 31 August 1981 in Carmarthen) is a Welsh rugby union player who plays at scrum-half for Llanelli Scarlets and Wales.

Peel started his rugby career playing for Tumble at Under-8's level. He made his professional club debut for Llanelli RFC before moving to the Llanelli Scarlets region at it's creation in 2003.

Peel made his international debut for Wales in 2001 against Japan. He was still on his geography degree course at the University of Wales, Swansea at the time. He has since scored 5 tries (25 points) for Wales and has earned 46 caps.

In 2005 Peel was selected for the British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand, and was the youngest Lion on this tour. He is widely regarded as one of the best scrum halves in the world at the moment.
