A pro-cathedral or procathedral is a parish church that temporarily serves as the cathedral or co-cathedral of a diocese, or a church that has the same function in a Catholic missionary jurisdiction that is not yet entitled to a proper cathedral.

In a broader context, the term "proto-cathedral" may refer to a church used by a bishop before the designation of a settled cathedral.
