Nice Cathedral (French: Basilique-Cathédrale Sainte-Marie et Sainte-Réparate de Nice) is a Catholic cathedral located in the city of Nice in southern France.

The cathedral is the seat of the Diocese of Nice. The construction of the main part of the current cathedral's body started in 1650 and finished in 1685.[1] Further construction continued after its consecration in 1699, with new structures and decorative elements added to the cathedral until 1949.[1] The cathedral is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and Saint Reparata.[2] It has been classified as a national monument since 9 August 1906.
