John Peto (date of birth unknown – 22 February 1874) was an English cricketer. Peto's batting style is unknown, though it is known he fielded as a wicket-keeper. He was christened at Godalming, Surrey on 26 December 1810.

Peto made a single first-class appearance for Surrey against the Marylebone Cricket Club at The Oval in 1847.
