St Peter Mancroft is an Anglican parish church in the centre of Norwich in Norfolk. After the two cathedrals, it is the largest church in Norwich. The present church was built between 1430 and 1455 on the site of an earlier church dating from 1075. It stands on a slightly elevated position, next to the marketplace.

'Mancroft' may be a mangling of the Old English ‘gemaene croft', meaning a ‘common field.' Or it may derive from 'magna crofta', which is Latin for 'great field.' Another possibility is that it recalls a previous owner of the land named ‘Manne.'

There are numerous monuments within the church and a small churchyard north and south of the church.
