St Peter's Church was a Church of England church in Manchester, in the historic county of Lancashire (now Greater Manchester). It was designed in a Neoclassical style by the English architect James Wyatt and opened in 1794. The church closed due to a dwindling congregation and it was demolished in 1907. Today its location is marked by a tall stone cross in St Peter's Square.
