St. John's Anglican Church is an historic Carpenter Gothic style Anglican church building located at 8 Church Road in Peggys Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada. Built in 1893–94 of wood, St. John's is the only church in Peggys Cove. Its steep pitched roof, board and batten siding and lancet windows are typical of Carpenter Gothic churches. The church contains two murals painted in 1963 by noted Canadian artist and local resident William E. deGarthe.

St. John's is a municipally registered heritage site within the Halifax Regional Municipality as designated on February 22, 1993. The designation encompasses both the church building and the land on which it is located.

St. John's is part of St. Peter's Parish in the Anglican Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. The current rector of the parish is the Rev. Anna Hoeg.
