Patti Cathedral (Italian: Duomo di Patti; Basilica cattedrale di San Bartolomeo) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Patti, Sicily, Italy, dedicated to Saint Bartholomew.

Count Roger of Altavilla founded the Benedictine monastery of the Most Holy Savior in the 1090s; he had the church built and dedicated to St. Bartholomew the Apostle.^[1]

The central portal is in Gothic style; inside the cathedral are works of art and funeral monuments, including the sarcophagus of Queen Adelasia, wife of Count Roger and mother of Roger II, first king of Sicily.^[1] as well as Madonna and Child Enthroned between Angels by Antonello de Saliba and the 18th century The Adoration of the Shepherds.^[2]

The tympanum includes a coat of arms of the Bourbons.^[3]

After an earthquake in 1693, the cathedral had to be almost completely rebuilt.^[4]

It is the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Patti.
