St Peter's Church is a church in Aston Flamville, Leicestershire. It is a Grade II listed building.

The church was built in the 11th century. It was possibly re-roofed in 1617.^[3]

The font is modern and depicts Elijah in a chariot and Moses striking the rock with his staff.^[3]

The tower contains two bells and is square,^[4] after being changed from its original shape.^[3]

The rectorial chair is set in the wall of the chancel. The chancel also has a memorial to Sir William Turville and his wife.^[3]

The church has no aisles but does have a step leading to the chancel, a rare feature since most churches have 2. A kneeling knight stands next to the step.^[3]

The chancel was restored in 1855 and in 1873, was rebuilt^[4] along with the porch, tower and nave.^[5]
