St Peter's Church, Winterborne Came, Grade I listed medieval church in Winterborne Came, England.

The stone church features a 14th-century nave, a 15th-century chancel, and a west tower with characteristic architectural elements of medieval English design.

The construction of St Peter's Church began in January 1301, with later additions including the chancel reconstruction in the 1400s and subsequent modifications.

The church contains an octagonal font from the 14th century and a wooden pulpit dated 1624, reflecting the ecclesiastical craftsmanship of different periods.

The Churches Conservation Trust maintains this religious building, which stands next to Came House and remains accessible through a small lane off the A532.

English writer William Barnes served as rector from 1862 to 1886 and rests in the churchyard beneath a Celtic cross memorial.
