The Church of Saint-Pierre (French: Église Saint-Pierre) is a Roman Catholic church located on the Place Saint-Pierre in the center of Caen in Normandy, northern France. It is dedicated to Saint Peter.

The construction of the present building took place between the early 13th and the 16th centuries. The spire was destroyed on 9 July 1944 by a British Navy shell aimed at German forces, and has since been rebuilt.

The eastern apse of the church was built by Hector Sohier between 1518 and 1545. The interior choir and the exterior apse display an architecture that embodies the transition from Gothic to Renaissance.
