Denis Heywood Peel (1 February 1886 – 25 October 1927) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of Edward Peel, he was born in Wavertree, Liverpool in February 1886.[1] He was educated at Bedford School, before going up to Balliol College, Oxford.[2] While at Oxford, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Surrey at The Oval in 1907. He made two further first-class appearances for Oxford in 1907, against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's and Sussex at Eastbourne.[3] He scored 9 runs in his three matches and took 3 wickets, with best figures of 1 for 32.[4][5] In addition to playing first-class cricket, Peel also played minor counties cricket for Bedfordshire from 1906–13, albeit intermittently, making nine appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[6] He died in Switzerland at Montana in October 1927. His brother, Bertram, was also a first-class cricketer.
