Poitiers Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Poitiers) is a Roman Catholic church in Poitiers, France. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Poitiers.

Its construction began in 1162 by Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine[Eleanor and Henry were supposedly married on 18 May 1152 in this cathedral, see entry for Eleanor of Aquitaine] on the ruins of a Roman basilica, and work was well advanced by the end of the 12th century. It is the largest medieval monument in the city of Poitiers.
