Saint Peter is a painting by Portuguese artist Grão Vasco, dated c. 1529. Commissioned by Miguel da Silva, originally meant to serve as an altarpiece for a side altar of the Viseu Cathedral, the painting is now part of the collections of Grão Vasco National Museum, in Viseu, Portugal.
The painting is considered a masterpiece of the Portuguese Renaissance. Anglo-Irish art critic Sir William Henry Gregory called Saint Peter "one of the chief ornaments of any gallery in the world from its grandeur and simplicity".
