St Stephen's Catholic Church, also known as Shkodër Cathedral (Albanian: Katedralja e Shkodrës or Kisha e Madhe - "Grand Church"), is a cathedral in the city of Shkodër in northwestern Albania. The Roman Catholic cathedral is dedicated to Saint Stephen.
During the Siege of Scutari (1912–1913) the cathedral was damaged by the Montenegrin army, particularly the south east side, causing fire in the bell tower. The cathedral was closed in 1967 and reopened in 1990.
