Peter John Ucko FRAI FSA (27 July 1938-14 June 2007) was an influential English archaeologist, noted for being the Professor Emeritus of Comparative Archaeology and also the former Executive Director of University College London's Institute of Archaeology. He was also noted for his organisation of the first World Archaeological Congress in 1986. Another of his significant parts that he played in archaeology was, according to one obituary, to "take archaeological issues to groups not normally involved in the discipline - such as indigenous communities around the world". He was a Fellow of both the Royal Anthropological Institute and the Society of Antiquaries.
