The Cathedral of St. Mark (Croatian: Katedrala sv. Marka) also called Korcula Cathedral, is the Roman Catholic cathedral of Korcula, Croatia. It occupies an elevated position in the old town centre.

According to Wikipedia, "the cathedral was built by local masters from the fifteenth century to the mid-sixteenth century. In 1557, an organ was placed in the cathedral. Tintoretto painted the altarpiece. The portal is the work of Bonino da Milano. A new organ was built in 1787 by Vinko Klisevic. In modern times, a bronze statue of Jesus Christ, the work of Croatian sculptor Frano Kršinic, was added to the baptistery".
