St. Peter's Cathedral of Rabat (French: Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Rabat) is a Roman Catholic church located at place du Golan (Golan Square) in downtown Rabat, Morocco. It was erected in the Art Deco architectural tradition. The cathedral is the seat of the Archdiocese of Rabat.

Construction of the cathedral started in 1919. The chief architect was M. Laforgue. The inaugural ceremony was presided by Hubert Lyautey in 1921, and the cathedral became operational in November of that year. The two towers of the cathedral, distinctive of the Rabat skyline, were added in the 1930s.

The cathedral is still operational, and mass is celebrated every other day.
