Codford St. Peter is a small village in the Wylye Valley of Wiltshire, England, tucked against the southern edge of Salisbury Plain. The settlement sits along the River Wylye and forms a pair with nearby Codford St Mary, giving it a rural, ribbon-village character with lanes, farmed downland and good walking country.

Historically the village is noted for its parish church of St Peter and for the large First World War training camps on the plain nearby, with memorials and local associations remembering the troops who passed through. Today it retains an agricultural economy with a strong village community and serves as a quiet commuter and recreational spot within easy reach of Warminster, Salisbury and Bath.
