St. Peter's Episcopal Church, also known as St. Peter's Church, in Albany, New York, is a church built in 1859 that was designed by Richard Upjohn and his son Richard M. Upjohn. The architecture is French-style decorated Gothic.

The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1980.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/72000817.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: St. Peter's Episcopal Church] |240 KB|date=March, 1979 |author=New York State Historic Trust and Carolyn Pitts |publisher=National Park Service and PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Photos/72000817.pdf Accompanying 2 photos, 1 exterior and 1 of stained glass window, from 1978.] |345 KB]

In 1980, the church included an important stained glass window by Weaver and a silver communion service set given to the church by Queen Anne in 1715.

History

The history of the church goes back to 1704, when Queen Anne founded a "chapel of the Onondagas" to bring missionaries. The first Anglican church north of New York City was built on this site in 1715. A church designed by architect Philip Hooker was its replacement in 1803. That second church was demolished in 1859.

The church is located at the corner of State and Lodge Streets in Albany.
