The Collegiate St. Peter's Church is a Roman Catholic church in Leuven, built in the Brabant Gothic style. The church building was worked on in the course of the 15th century by some famous late Gothic architects, including Sulpitius van Vorst, Jan II Keldermans and Matthijs de Layens.

The inhabitants of Leuven derive their nickname "Pietermannen" or "Peetermannen" from the patron saint of the church, the apostle Peter.
