The Second Peacock Ministry was the 39th ministry of the Government of Victoria. It was led by the premier of Victoria, Alexander Peacock, and consisted of members of the Commonwealth Liberal Party, later known as the Nationalist Party. The ministry was sworn in on 18 June 1914 following the resignation of Premier William Watt to contest the 1914 federal election. The government was defeated at the 1917 state election by the anti-Peacock faction of the Nationalist party and succeeded by the Bowser ministry.
