The Church of St Giles is a Grade II*-listed church in Cambridge, England.[1] It is a Church of England parish church in the Parish of the Ascension of the Diocese of Ely, located on the junction of Castle Street and Chesterton Road. It was completed and consecrated by the Bishop of Ely in 1875, to replace an earlier church founded in 1092. The church, which added "with St Peter" to its appellation when the neighbouring St Peter's Church became redundant, is home to both an Anglican and a Romanian Orthodox congregation[2] and is used as a venue for concerts and other events.[3] The church is kept open daily for visitors.

The war memorial in the churchyard, designed by Bodley and Hare and unveiled in 1920, is Grade II-listed.[4]
