Kathedraal van de Moeder Gods van Smolensk, Orthodox cathedral in Belgorod, Russia.

The Cathedral of the Mother of God of Smolensk is an Orthodox church in Belgorod, Russia. Its main volume is a massive two-storey block elongated from south to north, with a two-storey oval apse, a small two-storey refectory and a four-tier bell tower to the west. This composition follows late 17th-century church architecture of Sloboda Ukraine and the neighbouring Russian borderlands.

A chapel was built in 1703 on the spot where a sentry saw light from the Smolensk icon at the city gate; a wooden church followed in 1705, and the stone cathedral was begun in 1727. Funding problems delayed completion for 27 years, with the lower floor consecrated in 1747 and the upper in 1763. Closed and looted in the 1920s, it was damaged by artillery in World War II and survived demolition attempts in 1958 and 1977. Returned to the Orthodox Church in 1991, it was restored to its original form.

The cathedral is named after an icon of the Mother of God linked to the city of Smolensk, long venerated as a protective image in Russian Orthodox tradition. On major feast days, the interior fills with candlelight and the sound of choral prayer, drawing worshippers from across the region.

The church sits in the center of Belgorod and is easy to reach on foot from most central areas. Services are held in the morning and evening, and visitors are expected to dress modestly, with shoulders and knees covered.

Demolition attempts in 1958 and 1977 failed because the cathedral stood next to a school; the proximity of the school prevented the plans from being carried out. In the late 1980s restoration began, and in 1991 the building was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church.
