St. Joseph's Cathedral, also known as Nhà thờ Lớn Hà Nội, Nhà thờ Chính tòa Thánh Giuse in Vietnamese and Cathédrale Saint-Joseph d'Hanoï in French, is a Catholic church situated on Nhà Chung Street in the Hoàn Kiếm District of Hanoi, Vietnam. This stunning late 19th-century church, designed in the Gothic Revival (Neo-Gothic style), serves as the primary cathedral for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Hanoi and is dedicated to Saint Joseph, the patron saint of Vietnam.

Construction of this magnificent cathedral commenced in 1884, and its architectural design bears a resemblance to the iconic Notre Dame de Paris. It holds historical significance as one of the earliest structures erected by the French colonial administration in French Indochina and officially opened its doors in December 1886. As such, it proudly claims the title of the oldest church in Hanoi.

St. Joseph's Cathedral holds Mass services multiple times throughout the day. Particularly, the Sunday evening Mass at 6:00 PM draws large congregations, often spilling out into the surrounding streets. The uplifting prayer hymns are broadcasted, enabling Catholics who cannot enter the cathedral to gather in the streets and listen to the hymns.
