Peg Plunkett (c. 1727–1797) was an Irish brothel keeper in Dublin who wrote her memoirs in three volumes.

[3] Plunkett never revealed the identity of this man but he is believed to have been Joseph Leeson, 2nd Earl of Milltown.

[4] Plunkett became head of her own household when she started her first brothel with a friend, Sally Hayes, in Drogheda Street in Dublin.

Plunkett was successful in court against Richard Crosbie, the leader of a notorious gang known as the Pinking Dindies.

[3] This group of upper-class youths and failed students carried swords with which they used to mug the unfortunate.
