The Reverend Endicott Peabody (May 31, 1857 – November 17, 1944) was an American Episcopal priest who founded Groton School in 1884 and Brooks School in 1926. He also founded St. Paul's Episcopal Church (Tombstone, Arizona) in 1882 and St. Andrew's Episcopal Church (Ayer, Massachusetts) in 1899.
Peabody served as Groton's headmaster from 1884 until 1940, in which capacity he educated Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Upon his death, Time magazine described him as "the most famed U.S. headmaster of his generation."
