Winchester Cathedral (formally the Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity, St Peter, St Paul and St Swithun) is a Church of England cathedral in Winchester, Hampshire. It is the seat of the Bishop of Winchester.

The present church was built from 1079-1532. It has a very long and very wide nave in the Perpendicular Gothic style, an Early English retrochoir, and Norman transepts and tower.
