Robert Peche was a medieval Bishop of Coventry.

He was elected about January of 1121, and consecrated on March 13, 1121. He died on August 22, 1126.[1] Little is known of his background, and his actual activity while bishop remains obscure.[2] It is probable that Richard Peche, who became bishop of Coventry from 1161 to 1182 was his son.[3]
