John Peachey, 2nd Baron Selsey (16 March 1749 – 27 June 1816), styled The Honourable John Peachey between 1794 and 1808, was a British politician.

Peachey was the son of James Peachey, 1st Baron Selsey, by Lady Georgiana Caroline Scott, daughter of Henry Scott, 1st Earl of Deloraine.[1] He was returned to Parliament for St Germans in 1776, a seat he held until 1780,[2] and then represented New Shoreham between 1780 and 1790.[3] In 1808 he entered the House of Lords on the death of his father.[1]

Lord Selsey married Hester Elizabeth Jennings in 1784. They had several children. He died in June 1816, aged 67, and was succeeded by his eldest surviving son, Henry, a Captain in the Royal Navy. Lady Selsey died in April 1837.[1]
