For people named Peck, see Peck (surname).

A peck is an Imperial and U.S. customary unit of dry volume, equivalent in each of these systems to 8 dry quarts, or 16 dry pints. Two pecks make a kenning (obsolete), and four pecks make a bushel.

The peck occurs in such phrases as "eat a peck of dirt before you die" or "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers". Apples are often sold in peck or half-peck bags or baskets in the United States, but otherwise the peck is rarely used.
