The Immaculate Conception Metropolitan Cathedral, commonly known as the Roxas Cathedral (Hiligaynon: Katedral sang Roxas), is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Roxas, Capiz, in central Philippines. It is the seat of the Archdiocese of Capiz.[1]

The parish church was elevated into a cathedral[2] following the creation of the Diocese of Capiz on January 27, 1951. However, the diocese retained the old name of Capiz as it predates the change of the city name to Roxas on April 11, 1951.
