Lodève Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church in Lodève, Hérault, southern France. The edifice is a typical example of local Gothic architecture.
Lodève is an ancient town of Celtic origin, situated some 50 kilometres from the Mediterranean coast. It sits at the foot of the mountains of the Languedoc-Roussillon region, about 45 kilometres north-west of Montpellier. The former Diocese of Lodève, probably founded towards the end of the 4th century, was suppressed during the French Revolution and was not restored; its territory was instead attached to the Diocese, later Archdiocese, of Montpellier. In 1877, the Bishop of Montpellier was granted the privilege by Pope Pius IX on including the title of the former diocese of Lodève in his own titulature. The bishops and archbishops have not done so.
The cathedral, the former seat of the Bishops of Lodève, was classed a national historical monument in 1840.
