St John's Cathedral, Napier, officially the Waiapu Cathedral of Saint John the Evangelist, is an Anglican cathedral church, located in Browning Street, Napier, New Zealand.
Commonly called either Waiapu Cathedral or Napier Cathedral, the cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of Waiapu of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. The cathedral serves as the seat (cathedra) for both the Bishop of Waiapu, Andrew Hedge, and for the Bishop of Aotearoa (Māori: Te Pihopa o Aotearoa),[1] Don Tamihere. This cathedrae is a distinctive aspect of Waiapu Cathedral, differing from St Anne's Cathedral, Belfast, which also serves two Anglican dioceses but is the seat of neither.
Construction of the present building was completed 1965, and the cathedral was consecrated on 8 October 1967. It is built in an Art Deco style.
