St. Peter's Church, Chapel and Cemetery Complex is a historic Episcopal Gothic Revival church at 2500 Westchester Avenue and Saint Peters Avenue in the Bronx, New York City.

It was built in 1853 to designs by the architect Leopold Eidlitz in the Village of Westchester, now the East Bronx. The church was damaged heavily by fire and reconstructed and changed by Cyrus L. W. Eidlitz in 1878. It is a Gothic Revival style, cruciform plan, church constructed of rock faced schist. It features a square corner tower with buttressed corners and an octagonal belfry.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 20, 1998.

It was designated a New York City Landmark in 1976. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

In 2013, the Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance relocated from the American Bank Note Company Building to the chapel on the grounds of St. Peter's Church.
