Frederick Stanhope Peck (December 16, 1868 - January 20, 1947) was an American businessman and political figure during the early twentieth century. After growing his father's business, Peck expanded his interests and became a prominent figure within Republican politics in the state of Rhode Island. Throughout his political tenure, Peck would serve as a Republican National Committeeman, a member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives, and the State Commissioner of Finance.
Notably, Frederick Peck commissioned the Belton Court mansion which served as his private residence from 1905 to 1947; the 55,000 square-foot gothic-inspired mansion was constructed on his 800-acre estate in Barrington, Rhode Island.
