USNS "Robert E. Peary" (T-AKE-5) is a "Lewis and Clark"-class dry cargo ship in the United States Navy. She is the fourth Navy ship named for Arctic explorer, Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary (1856–1920).

"Peary" was launched on schedule on 27 October 2007, however the planned christening ceremony had to be delayed because of the local disruption caused by the October 2007 California wildfires.
