The Roman Catholic Erfurt Cathedral, also known as St Mary's Cathedral, is a 1200-year-old church in the city of Erfurt, in Thuringia. It is of an International Gothic style and is situated on a hillside overlooking the main city square, known as Domplatz (Cathedral Square). It is the episcopal seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Erfurt.

The site of the present cathedral has been the location of many other Christian buildings, for example a Romanesque basilica and a church hall. Saint Boniface, the English missionary to the German nation, erected a church in the year 742 on the mound on which Erfurt Cathedral now stands. The foundations of the original church were used for a Romanesque basilica in the mid 12th century. The mound was then enlarged in the early 14th century to make room for St. Mary's cathedral.

Martin Luther, the father of the Reformation, was ordained in the cathedral on 3 April 1507.
