Peasant is a recurring character in the television series Castle, portrayed by Ruben Santiago-Hudson. While never explicitly named Peasant within the show's narrative, the designation stems from Rick Castle's repeated, affectionate use of the term when addressing him.

He is introduced as the doorman of Richard Castle's upscale apartment building. Peasant is characterized by his calm demeanor, observant nature, and dry wit. He maintains a professional yet friendly relationship with Castle, often offering insightful comments or observations regarding Castle's cases and personal life.

Though his role is primarily supportive and often comedic, Peasant demonstrates a keen awareness of the building's residents and their activities. He subtly assists Castle and the detectives with information, displaying an intelligence that belies the simplicity of his position. He is a reliable and valued part of Castle's world, providing a grounded presence amidst the often-chaotic nature of Castle's investigations.
