The "Saint Stepanous" Cathederal is an Armenian cathederal situated near Jolfa city, East Azarbaijan Province northeast Iran. It was built in the 9th century and rebuilt in the Safavid era, after several earthquakes damaged it.

In July 2008, Saint Stepanous Cathedral was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List, along with the "Saint Thaddeus" monastery and the chapel of "Dzordzor" (two other Armenian monuments located in the same province).
