St Peter's Cathedral, properly the Cathedral Church of St Peter, is an Anglican cathedral in Tallahassee, Florida, USA, dedicated to Saint Peter and seat of the Bishop of the Gulf Atlantic Diocese of the Anglican Church in North America. It was built in 2012–2014 to provide a home for the young parish of St Peter's Anglican Church, and was made the cathedral of its diocese at the Diocesan Synod on 11 November 2017. From 2018 – 2020, Archbishop Emeritus Robert Duncan served as Bishop-in-Residence and interim rector of the cathedral.[4]

It is built in a Neo-Gothic style, heavily featuring insulating concrete form construction.[5] Included in the foundations are several handmade bricks from Uganda, which were included to show the importance of the support St. Peter's received in its early years from the Church of Uganda and Bishop Jackson Nzerebende. Building began on 1 December 2012 and was completed just prior to its consecration by Archbishop Robert Duncan on 14 June 2014. In addition to Archbishop Duncan, Bishops Lebhar and Nzerebende were in attendance at the consecration.[1] [2]
