Donald Hoyte Pepper (born October 8, 1943 at Saratoga Springs, New York) is a retired American professional baseball player. He was a first baseman whose seven-year (1962–1968) professional career included a four-game trial with the 1966 Detroit Tigers of Major League Baseball. Pepper batted and threw left-handed, stood 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) tall and weighed 215 pounds (98 kg).

Pepper's career was spent with the Detroit organization. In his best season, 1966 with the Double-A Montgomery Rebels, he batted .302 and reached career highs in home runs (19) and runs batted in (87). Called up to the Tigers after the post-September 1 roster expansion, he was a pinch hitter in three contests (he grounded out, struck out, and flied out in his three at bats). In his fourth game, he was a defensive replacement for veteran Tiger first baseman Norm Cash, but did not bat.^[1]
