The Cathedral of Saint Christopher of Belfort (French: Cathédrale Saint-Christophe de Belfort), commonly known as Belfort Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic church located in Belfort, France. The cathedral has been a national monument since 1930.

The building that is now the cathedral was built as a church between 1727 and 1750 by the businessman Henri Schuller (or Shuler) (whose son was later a canon here) to plans by Jacques Philippe Mareschal, king's engineer at Strasbourg. It was built of red sandstone excavated from the quarry at Offremont, three kilometres from Belfort.

Although the church opened for worship in 1750, the north tower was not completed until 1845.
