Ronald Rupert "Ron" Peplow (born 4 May 1935) is a former English professional football wing half who appeared in the Football League for Brentford. He also played non-league football for Southall, Folkestone Town and Ashford Town (Kent). Peplow was a penalty specialist, scoring 28 goals from 30 attempts during his career.
Peplow began his career as an inside forward at Athenian League side Southall, catching the attention of Division Three South neighbours Brentford during the 1954–55 season. He signed for the Bees at the end of the season and made his professional debut almost a year later in a 1–0 win over Swindon Town on 21 April 1956, finishing the 1955–56 season with three appearances and one goal. Utilised mainly as a wing half, Peplow made something of a breakthrough into the first team during the 1956–57 season, making 17 appearances, but failing to score. Peplow's appearance count reduced season-by-season until 1960–61, when he made 18 appearances and scored three goals. He was released in June 1961, having made 66 appearances and scored five goals in six years at Griffin Park.
