St Peter’s Church, Ashton-under-Lyne is an active Church of England parish church on Manchester Road in Greater Manchester.

Francis Goodwin designed the church, which was constructed from 1821 to 1824 using dressed stone and a slate roof. Its seven-bay nave ends in an angled vestry serving as the chancel, while a three-stage tower rises at the west end. Interior galleries stand on cast-iron columns.
