Friedrich Eugen Peipers was a German landscape and veduta painter, drawing teacher and architect.

Peipers was the son of the dyer and knife maker Johann Peter Jacob Peipers (1773-1811) and his wife Catharina Gertrudis, née Peltzer (1879-1862). The couple's two sons and three daughters, who were born between 1802 and 1811, included the later illustrator and painter Hermine Stilke, wife of the Düsseldorf history painter Hermann Stilke.

Peipers studied philology and mathematics at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn from 1825 to 1828. In 1828 he moved to Frankfurt am Main. There he taught drawing at various schools (Musterschule, Taubstummen-Erziehungsanstalt) and from 1842 to 1860 at the Städelsches Kunstinstitut. His students included Carl Friedrich Harveng and Otto Scholderer. Peipers found the motifs for his paintings and drawings in Frankfurt and its surroundings, the Taunus, the Rhine, Nahe, Lahn and Moselle regions. He also traveled to southern Italy and the Elbe near Dresden. He was one of the early artists of the Kronberg painters' colony.

In the years 1840-1843, he built the Old Stock Exchange in Frankfurt according to plans by Friedrich August Stüler.
