Santi Pietro e Paolo ("St. Peter and Paul", Italian: Chiesa parrocchiale dei Santi Apostoli Pietro e Paolo) is a church located in Arese in Lombardy, Italy. It is dedicated to the Christian figures of Saint Peter and Saint Paul.

It was built to replace the old parish church of Saint Peter (the first church in Arese), which had become too small for the growing community. Construction began in 1880, on the initiative of the local priest Don Enrico Mora. The new church was funded, and blessed, by Monsignor Giuseppe Negri in 1882. The construction of the church was completed in 1938, and underwent re-consecration in 1982, on the occasion of the centenary of the foundation.
