Church of Saint Peter Gonzalez, Neoclassical church and convent in Varadouro, João Pessoa, Brazil.

The Church of Saint Peter Gonzalez stands on the Largo de São Frei Pedro Gonçalves, at the top of the hill of the old Porto do Varadouro, facing the Sanhauá River in the historic centre of João Pessoa. Its architecture mixes eclectic lines with Neoclassical influence. The largo also holds 19th- and early 20th-century townhouses and the Hotel Globo, the first hotel built in Paraíba.

The present church was built in 1843 by enslaved labour, paid for with contributions from merchants and fishermen settled on Rua Direita, today Rua Duque de Caxias. It first bore the name Church of the Navegantes and was later renamed for Saint Peter González, a 12th-century Spanish Dominican canonised by the Catholic Church and patron of navigators. Restoration between 2000 and 2002 uncovered ruins of a 1692 construction and traces of the 1585 Captaincy of Paraíba. IPHAEP listed the church on 2 December 1998.

The religious complex reflects Portuguese building traditions and continues to serve as a venue for Catholic services and local community events. Its presence shapes how people experience the historic neighborhood today.

The building is easy to locate in the historic center next to well-known hotels and shops. Its position by the river makes it a useful landmark and accessible stop when exploring nearby sites.

Restoration work between 2000 and 2002 exposed the ruins of a construction from 1692, and digs around the church also turned up coins from the 18th century, iron objects and human bones. Archaeologists link the finds to the Captaincy of Paraíba, founded in 1585.
