It depends on the context. Generally it simply means the first diffraction peak, from the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_formalism" .
If its the 'diffraction peak, to first order' that can mean something different. That could be the value of the first diffraction peak, according to a 'first order' approximation.
