St Paul's Cathedral is the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Dunedin, in New Zealand and the seat of the Bishop of Dunedin.

This imposing Gothic Revival church in Oamaru stone was built between 1915 and 1919, to the design of Edmund Sedding. A chancel designed by E. J. McCoy was added in 1971. St. Paul's is reputed to have the only stone-vaulted nave in New Zealand.The 38 steps in front are Takaka marble.
