St Peter's Church is a modern Roman Catholic pilgrimage church in Galilee, Israel. It stands on buttresses above the archaeological site known as the House of Peter at Capernaum on the north shore of the Sea of Galilee.

St. Peter's Church is designed to protect the ancient remains of the building below, as a platform for viewing them and as a place of prayer and worship. Like the foundation walls of the 5th-century Byzantine church that can be seen under the glass floor in the middle, it is designed as an octagonal central building.
