The St. Peter and St. Paul's Church (Lithuanian: Šv. apaštalų Petro ir Povilo bažnyčia) is a Roman Catholic church in Panevėžys, Lithuania. The current Neo-Renaissance brick church was built between 1877 – 1885, however the parish dates to 1507 when the first church in Panevėžys was built on the right bank of Nevėžis and a filial church of the Panevėžys Old Town was established, belonging to the Parish of Ramygala. It has an authentic organ constructed by Juozapas Radavičius which dates to 1887. The church was renewed in 2018 and a new altar, made of Greek marble and gilded wood carvings, was added and consecrated.
