Fredy Peccerelli (born 1971), a forensic anthropologist, is the director and one of the founding members of the Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Foundation in Guatemala City, a nongovernmental organization that exhumes mass graves of victims of Guatemala's civil war. Peccerelli, along with members of his immediate family, has been the subject of repeated death threats as a result of his work.

In 1999, he was chosen by CNN and Time magazine as one of the "50 Latin American Leaders for the New Millennium".
