St Peter's Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church and former cathedral in Worms, southern Germany.

The cathedral is located on the highest point of the inner city of Worms and is the most important building of the Romanesque style in Worms.

It was the seat of the Catholic Prince-Bishopric of Worms until its extinction in 1802, during German mediatisation.
