Molde Cathedral (Norwegian: Molde domkirke) is a cathedral of the Church of Norway in Molde Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the town of Molde. It is the church for the Molde domkirke parish as well as the seat of the Molde domprosti (arch-deanery) and the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Møre. The white, brick church was built in a long church basilica design in 1957 by the architect Finn Bryn. The church seats about 700 people.[1][2][3]

This building was built to replace an earlier church here, and it is the third church to be located on the same site. It became a cathedral in 1983 when the Diocese of Møre was created.[4]
