Peaty, 22, who also retained his 100m title on Monday, finished in 25.99 seconds - just short of the world record 25.95 he set in the semi-final.
Brazil's Joao Gomes Junior took silver and South African Cameron van der Burgh was third.
"I'm feeling very good. I'm so, so happy with my displays," Peaty said.
