La cathédrale Saint-Étienne est la principale église de Limoges et le siège de l'évêché de Limoges. Elle est située au cœur du vieux quartier de la Cité, contiguë aux jardins de l'Évêché et au musée des Beaux-Arts. C'est l'un des édifices les plus remarquables de Limoges, avec la gare des Bénédictins, et le seul monument religieux du Limousin qui soit construit en style gothique homogène.

Sa construction commença en 1273 et ne fut terminée qu'en 1888 par le rattachement du clocher d'origine romane à la nef.
