The Church of St Peter and St Andrew is an historic Church of England parish church at Old Windsor in the English county of Berkshire. It is located at the end of Church Road near the River Thames.
The church is first mentioned in extant records in 1216 and the parish registers date from 1612. Restored and rebuilt in 1863, it still retains its original Early English chancel and tower. Nikolaus Pevsner, writing in 1975, described the wall paintings as "a matter of wonder". The churchyard contains the grave of celebrated Georgian actress Mary 'Perdita' Robinson, Shakespearean actress and alleged mistress of King George IV. The church celebrates mass every Sunday although more informal services are also held at the church hall(St Luke's) in the centre of the village.
The church experienced a fire on Easter Sunday morning, 24 March 2008. It was badly damaged but quickly repaired.
In January 2012 the church's new website was launched.
