The Cathedral Church of St Mary the Virgin and St Nicholas (Korean: 대한성공회 서울주교좌대성당), or the Seoul Anglican Cathedral, is an Anglican cathedral in Downtown Seoul, South Korea. It is the mother church of both the Anglican Church of Korea and the Diocese of Seoul. Its location is adjacent to Deoksugung, the British Embassy in Seoul, Seoul Metropolitan Council, and Seoul City Hall.

Construction began in 1922 to a design by English architect Arthur Stansfield Dixon.[1] The Cathedral is known for its Romanesque Revival architecture, together with its mosaic murals. In 1985, a Harrison & Harrison pipe organ was installed in the Cathedral's west end. Expansion of the Cathedral began in 1991 and was completed in 1996. In 1978, the Cathedral was designated by the Seoul Metropolitan Government as Tangible Cultural Property No. 35.[2]
