Lists of cathedrals

As of 2011, the Catholic Church had 3,068 churches of cathedral and co-cathedral status around the world, predominantly in countries with a significant Roman Catholic population: Italy (357), Brazil (280), United States (207), India (156), France (103), Mexico (98), Spain (87), Philippines (87), Colombia (83), Canada (74) and Argentina (72).

This is a list of cathedrals by country, including both actual cathedrals (seats of bishops in episcopal denominations, such as Catholicism, Anglicanism, and Orthodoxy) and a few prominent churches from non-episcopal denominations commonly referred to as "cathedral", usually having formerly acquired that status.
