For the physiologist, see Peter A Stewart.

Peter "Buck" Stewart (1730 – 1796) was an English cricketer who played for the Hambledon Club in its great days during the 1760s and 1770s.

Known to have been nicknamed "Buck" because he was a "natty dresser", Stewart was a considerable player but one of many whose best years were before 1772 and whose records are mostly lost ^[1].

Stewart worked as a carpenter, shoemaker and innkeeper. He is said to have been one of the team’s characters and a noted humorist. He was a good batsman in his prime and strong in his offside strokes ^[2].

Stewart was a stoic, durable player. In one 1764 game against Chertsey, he played with a knee strain and a broken finger ^[3].
