St Patrick's Cathedral (also referred to as Bunbury Cathedral) is a religious building which is the main place of Catholic worship in the city of Bunbury, Western Australia, and is the seat of the Bishop of the Diocese of Bunbury. The current bishop is Gerard Holohan.

The first stone was laid in 1919. The church was opened for worship two years later, as a parish church. In 1954 it was elevated to a cathedral by Pope Pius XII, when the Catholic Diocese of Bunbury was established.
