Cecil Arthur Pearce (5 May 1914 – 27 March 2002) was an Australian rower who won the double sculls event at the 1938 British Empire Games, together with William Bradley. He competed in the single sculls at the 1936 Olympics, but failed to reach the final. Pearce came from a sporting family: his uncle Bobby was a double Olympic champion in single sculls, and several other family members competed nationally in rowing, rugby and swimming. Cecil's son Gary also became an Olympic rower.[1]
