「澎湖天后宮」建於何時？迄無定論
「澎湖天后宮」到底建於何時？關於這個問題，到目前為止，專家學者、學術機構等單位，所發表的相關文件資料，尚無確切的定論。
最早的有遠溯至元朝（西元一二八一年），最遲的說法是清朝康熙二十二年（西元一六八三年），來回就相差四百餘年。但其中較為一般所接受的說法是建於明朝萬曆二十年（西元一五九二年）或萬曆二十五年（西元一五九七年），這個主張是由於明朝萬曆二十年，明朝為了日本幕府豐臣秀吉可能攻打台灣而派兵防守澎湖，因為在當年，台灣雖不是中國的版圖，但澎湖卻早已是中國的版圖。萬曆二十五年也因為日本侵略朝鮮，再度派兵來澎，到了萬曆三十二年（西元一六０四年），荷蘭人在荷將韋麻郎帶領下，第一次入侵澎湖時，澎湖已有娘媽宮為依據，加以向前推測，再根據當時澎湖駐守遊兵、水師的歷史紀錄，穿鑿附會的認為可能由兵員建廟的，但也有一派學者質疑，駐軍和建廟的直接關聯性。
在以上說法皆有可能，卻都不一定是正確答案的情況下，我們現在可以確定西元一六０四年，荷蘭人第一次入據澎湖要求與中國通商，明朝廷派浯嶼都司沈有容抵澎處理「諭退」事件中，沈有容與韋麻郎即曾於「天妃宮」內相見（見明朝董應舉：崇相集）以及在「澎湖天后宮」整建時由地底下挖出「沈有容諭退紅毛番韋麻郎等」之石碑為佐證，就更加確定「天后宮」在西元一六０四年時已經存在的事實。
荷蘭人於西元一六二二年第二次入據澎湖時，在自己的日誌及地圖上都記載「澎湖天后宮」的存在，並稱「澎湖天后宮」前面的海域為「教堂灣」。都能顯示由此可見中西歷料都能證明「澎湖天后宮」至少有四百年以上的歷史的事實，所以足堪認定「澎湖天后宮」為全台最古老的寺廟應無疑問。
