St Patrick's Cathedral, Killala is one of five cathedral churches (the other is St Mary's Cathedral, Tuam) in the Diocese of Tuam, Limerick and Killaloe of the Church of Ireland. It is situated on the Ballina to Ballycastle road in the small coastal village of Killala, County Mayo, Ireland. It is part of the ecclesiastical province of Dublin.
The Cathedral Church of St Patrick is one of Ireland’s smallest cathedrals and consists of a long rectangular four-bay gable-ended nave (32 m x 10 m) with a square tower and spire at the west end and a gable-ended vestry at the north end. A staircase leads to a gallery in the nave. The nave is fitted with boxed pews and a rare Telford organ dating from 1838.
The graveyard contains a 9th-century souterrain with several chambers.
