The Cathedral of Saint Ferdinand of Maldonado (Spanish: Catedral de San Fernando de Maldonado) is the main Roman Catholic church building of Maldonado, Uruguay. It is the see of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Maldonado-Punta del Este.

A first church was built in Spanish colonial times. The construction of the present Neoclassical building was started in 1801, but the English Invasions interrupted the works. It was finally inaugurated in 1895 by Archbishop Mariano Soler. It is dedicated to saint Ferdinand.
