The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Saint-Alexandre-Nevsky, Russian: Собор Святого Александра Невского) is a Russian Orthodox cathedral church located at 12 rue Daru in the 8th arrondissement of Paris.

It was established and consecrated in 1861, making it the first Russian Orthodox place of worship in France.
It was built in part through a gift of 200,000 francs from Tsar Alexander II.

The Cathedral is the see of the Patriarchal Exarchate for Orthodox Parishes of Russian Tradition in Western Europe, recently transferred to the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Moscow.
