Endicott "Chub" Peabody (February 15, 1920 – December 2, 1997) was an American politician from Massachusetts.
A Democrat, he served a single two-year term as the 62nd Governor of Massachusetts, from 1963 to 1965.
He is probably best known for his opposition to the death penalty, his many electoral failures, and for signing into law the legislation establishing the University of Massachusetts Boston. Born in Lawrence, Massachusetts to a family with deep colonial roots, Peabody played college football at Harvard University, where he earned honors as an All-American lineman.
He served in the United States Navy in World War II before embarking on a political career noted more for its failures than its successes.
He made multiple unsuccessful attempts to win the position of Massachusetts Attorney General, and for the United States Senate representing both Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and ran for United States Vice President in 1972.
