St. Peter's Episcopal Church, located at Rector and Gordon Streets in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, is the oldest Episcopal parish in the state and home to New Jersey's oldest extant gravestone. Built between 1849 and 1852, the church exemplifies Gothic style architecture and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 for its religious significance. The historic cemetery and building remain active, though the congregation has declined considerably in recent decades, from 482 members in 2015 to 263 by 2023.
