The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de L'Assomption), often called Port-au-Prince Cathedral (French: Cathédrale de Port-au-Prince), was a cathedral in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Built between 1884 and 1914, it was dedicated on December 13, 1928, and became the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Port-au-Prince. The cathedral was destroyed in the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake.

Before its destruction, the cupola of the north tower of the cathedral served as the front lighthouse of a pair, guiding mariners into Port-au-Prince harbor.
