Irving Peress July 31 1917 - November 13 2014 was a New York City dentist who became a primary target for investigation of alleged communist leanings during the 1954 Army-McCarthy hearings.

McCarthy wrote a letter to Secretary of the Army Robert T. Stevens calling for Peress to be court-martialed. He called for an investigation into the Army's handling of Peress' commissioning and promotion. Stevens believed that Peress' refusals to answer the Committee's questions did not provide grounds for court-martial and approved Peress' discharge on February 2. that required that the rank of military medical professionals reflect their level of experience.
