Joseph Pearkes Fox Gundry JP (29 July 1837 – 11 November 1891) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of Joseph Gundry senior, he was born at Bridport in July 1837. He was educated at Winchester College,[1] before going up to Merton College, Oxford.[2] He made his debut in first-class cricket during his second year at Oxford, when he played for a combined Gentlemen of Kent and Sussex team against the Gentlemen of England at Lord's in 1857. His second first-class appearance came during his fourth year at Oxford, when he played for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Oxford in 1859.[3]

After graduating from Oxford, Pearkes entered into the family business in Bridport manufacturing fishing nets and twine.[1] He also served as a first lieutenant in the Bridport Artillery Volunteers,[4] having joined in February 1860.[5] Pearkes served as a justice of the peace for Dorset.[1] A master of the Cattistock Hunt, he was killed in a riding accident while out with the hunt on 11 November 1891.[1]
