St James Old Cathedral, an Anglican church, is the oldest church in Melbourne, Australia, albeit not on its original site. It is one of the relatively few buildings in the central city which predate the Victorian gold rush of 1851. The building was dismantled and relocated in 1914 to a corner site of King Street and Batman Street in West Melbourne.
The parish is led by the Reverend Canon Matthew Williams. The Senior Associate Minister is the Reverend Mike Raiter, who is also director of the Centre for Biblical Preaching. The Assistant Curate is The Reverend Jessica Naylor-Tatterson.
More recently, the church has begun serving as the chapel for Haileybury College's City Campus.
The building is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.
