St. Peter-Pagig was a small town, or municipality, in the Grisons area of Switzerland. It was part of the Plessur district. A municipality is like a local government area.

St. Peter-Pagig was created on January 1, 2008. It was formed when two smaller towns, St. Peter and Pagig, decided to join together. This is called a merger.

Later, on January 1, 2013, St. Peter-Pagig merged again. This time, it joined with several other towns: Calfreisen, Castiel, Langwies, Lüen, Molinis, and Peist. All these towns became part of a new, larger municipality called Arosa.
