David Pegler (born 2 November 1938) is a British mycologist. Until his retirement in 1998, he served as the Head of Mycology and assistant keeper of the herbarium at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew. Pegler received his BSc from London University in 1960, thereafter studying tropical Agaricales with R.W.G. Dennis as his graduate supervisor. He earned a master's degree in 1966, and a PhD in 1974 (both from London University). His graduate thesis was on agarics of east Africa, later published as A preliminary agaric flora of East Africa in 1977. In 1989, London University awarded him a DSc for his research into the Agaricales.[1] Several fungal taxa have been named in his honour:

  • Lodge 1999[2]
  • Deconica pegleriana (Guzmán) Ram.-Cruz & Guzmán 2012
  • Y.J.Yao 1995[3]
  • Courtec. 1984[4]
  • Parmasto 1999[5]
  • Sarwal 1983
  • Ryvarden 1975[6]
  • Pacioni & Lalli 1992[7]
  • Courtec. 1984[4]
  • D.Hawksw. & A.Henrici 1999[8]
  • Rhodocybe pegleri T.J.Baroni 1999[9] (now )

Pegler has published more than 250 research papers and several books, largely on fungal systematics.[1] He was senior editor of the scientific journal Mycologist from 1987 to 1993.[10]
