The Church of St Peter, Carrigrohane, County Cork, Ireland is a Church of Ireland church built in 1854 and extended by William Burges in 1865-68.
The church, in a Gothic Revival style, has a three-bay nave with a two-stage tower and gable-fronted porch. The chancel to the east side and later side aisle extension to the south were added by William Burges in 1865-68. Built by Joseph Welland on the site of an earlier medieval church, the church retains "numerous original features", including stained glass by William Gualbert Saunders and Henry Holiday.
The Reverend Robert Gregg was rector from 1865-74 and son of Bishop John Gregg, Burges's patron at Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, Cork. Burges's commission, and the church, were modest; he was only asked to design an additional south aisle and vestry; but Crook writes that the design reveals "an original architectural mind. And the stained glass is predictably good."
