Benjamin Neeve Peach (6 September 1842 - 29 January 1926) was a British geologist.

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1892 and won the Wollaston Medal of the Geological Society in 1921. He was the son of Charles William Peach, a British naturalist and geologist.

A monument to the work of Peach and Horne was erected at Inchnadamph, close to the Moine Thrust where they did some of their best-known work. The inscription reads: "To Ben N Peach and John Horne who played the foremost part in unravelling the geological structure of the North West Highlands 1883-1897. An international tribute. Erected 1980."
