St John the Baptist Cathedral, Murray Bridge is the cathedral church of the Anglican Diocese of The Murray, greater Adelaide, South Australia.

The cathedral building was built in 1887 of rough stone as a Missions church but was upgraded to a Parish church in 1948[2] and, with a maximum seating capacity of 130, is the smallest[3] cathedral in Australia.[1]

The interior of the cathedral is decorated in the High Church tradition.
