St Paul's Cathedral, Rockhampton, Anglican cathedral in Rockhampton, Australia.

St Paul's Anglican Cathedral is a masonry building at 89 William Street, built from rock-faced, evenly coursed sandstone with smooth sandstone window surrounds, base course, string coursing and buttress caps. It has a steeply pitched gabled roof, a rectangular plan, an apsidal chancel, a gabled porch entrance, and a nave divided from the side aisles by a pointed arched arcade of Stanwell sandstone.

Anglican services began in Rockhampton in the late 1850s; a timber church of 1862 preceded the present building, designed by Brisbane architect Annersley Voysey and built from 1883, when Bishop Matthew Hale dedicated it. It became a cathedral in 1892 with the formation of the diocese, and Bishop Nathaniel Dawes was enthroned on 30 November 1892. Consecration followed on 20 June 1911, once the building fund was repaid.

The cathedral serves as a spiritual gathering place for the Anglican community and hosts regular worship services and local events throughout the year. It functions as the Mother Church of the Diocese of Rockhampton, where people come together for both religious observance and community connection.

The cathedral stands at 89 William Street, with entrance gates designed by Louis Spier Robertson in 1899. The interior is divided into a nave and side aisles by a pointed arched arcade of Stanwell sandstone, so the aisles give a close view of the windows and the brass Stations of the Cross medallions on the sills.

Four mosaics set into the floor before the bishop's red cedar throne are thought to date from the 18th century and show mythical beasts from Ezekiel and the Book of Revelation. The Warriors' Chapel holds a 1919 honour board naming the diocese's fallen, and a ceramic bas relief of the Madonna and Child after Della Robbia hangs on the south aisle wall.
