  • Sir Peircy Brett (1709 – 14. října 1781) byl britský admirál. V královském námořnictvu sloužil od roku 1725, později se prosadil jako účastník různých válečných konfliktů v Evropě a v koloniích. V roce 1753 byl povýšen do šlechtického stavu a byl mimo jiné dlouholetým členem Dolní sněmovny. V administraci námořnictva nakonec zastával funkci prvního námořního lorda (1766–1770) a v roce 1778 získal hodnost admirála. (cs)
