St. Francis Xavier's Cathedral, Bengaluru, Roman Catholic cathedral in Fraser Town, Bengaluru, India.

The cathedral features two prominent domes, stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes, and Gothic architectural elements spanning a large compound in central Bengaluru.

French missionaries of the Paris Foreign Missions Society constructed the first church in 1851, while the current structure was inaugurated in 1932.

The cathedral serves as the primary religious center for Catholic ceremonies and hosts regular masses in multiple languages for the diverse Bengaluru community.

Three educational institutions operate within the cathedral grounds: St. Aloysius, St. Anthony's, and St. Rock's schools, providing education to local students.

The cathedral compound includes a dedicated shrine to St. Anthony and received two additional domes during its platinum jubilee renovations in 2009.
