Justin "Frankie" Peckett (born October 5, 1972) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
Picked up by the Saints as an impressive 16-year-old, in 1990 Peckett won the St Kilda under 19's best and fairest and remained on the list for the 1991 season, before he was delisted at the end of the year.
He was picked up in the 1992 Pre-season draft at pick #49 to resurrect his career, and debuted late that season (receiving limited game time in his only game for that year). He was selected as a utility player who could play a number of roles, particularly as a small midfielder or a small half back player. He finished 2nd in the Trevor Barker Medal in 1994 and third in 1997.
Peckett has been a stalwart of the St Kilda Football Club, and was part of an experienced group of veterans at the Saints who have decided to continue on in 2006 for one last shot at a premiership. These players included Stephen Powell, Andrew Thompson and Robert Harvey, however a premiership did not eventuate for the club in 2006, with Peckett announcing his retirement soon after the club's exit from the finals series.
