Orléans Cathedral (French: Basilique Cathédrale Sainte-Croix d'Orléans)[1] is a Roman Catholic church located in the city of Orléans, France. The cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Orléans.

It was originally built from 1278 to 1329. It was partially destroyed in 1568 by the Huguenots during the French Wars of Religion, but was rebuilt between 1601 and 1829.[2] The edifice is in the Gothic architectural style.

During the Siege of Orléans, the cathedral was visited frequently by Joan of Arc.[3] The cathedral's stained glass windows now depict the story of Joan's actions that contributed to the lifting of the siege.[4]
