The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, also known simply as St. John's Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral and parish church in the western United States, located in the state capital of Boise, Idaho. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Boise and the chair of the Bishop of Boise, the church building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, (lists maintained by the National Park Service of the United States Department of the Interior). It was included as a contributing property of the St. John's Cathedral Block when the rest of the parish buildings on Block 90 were also added four years later to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. That same year, the parish buildings were included as a contributing property in the surrounding neighborhood of the Fort Street Historic District.
