The Old Cathedral of Plasencia (Spanish: Catedral vieja de Plasencia or Catedral de Santa María) is a Roman Catholic church in Plasencia, Cáceres Province, Extremadura, Spain. It is one of two cathedrals in Plasencia, the other being the New Cathedral.

Commonly known as the Plasencia Cathedral Museum, the building exemplifies the transition from Romanesque to Gothic architecture and is one of the town's most notable landmarks.

Construction began in the early 13th century, with the last elements in the Proto-Gothic style added in the 15th century. Architects such as Juan Francés, Juan Pérez, and Diego Díaz oversaw construction during these centuries. The building is currently designated a Bien de Interés Cultural ("Good of Cultural Interest").
