San Pietro alla Magione is an ancient church on Via Camollia in Siena, Italy.

Documents attest to a church at the site since 998. It is built in stone, and preceded by a stairs and a Romanesque bell portal. The austere interior was restored in 1957 and contains a Gothic tabernacle from the second half of the 14th century, a Madonna with Saints John the Baptist and Peter by , fragments of frescoes (Cruxifixion and Biblical Stories) by Cristoforo di Bindoccio and Meo di Pero. The chapel on the right was erected in 1523-26 as an ex voto for the passing of the plague; it houses a Martyrdom of St Donnino by Antonio Nasini, a fragment of a Madonna with Child attributed to Lorenzo Rustici.
