St Peter's Church, Eastern Hill, is an Australian Anglican church located on the corner of Albert and Gisborne Streets, East Melbourne, Victoria. Part of the Diocese of Melbourne, the administration of the parish dates from 1847 when letters patent of Queen Victoria declaring the city status of Melbourne were read on the steps of St Peter's in 1848. The church is in the Anglo-Catholic tradition.
St Peter's central position in Melbourne means it is able to extend a number of ministries from the parish. The church is the location of a breakfast program for Melbourne's inner-city homeless, a social enterprise coffee cart and a bookstore supplying local Anglican books, church resources and gifts.
