Dol Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Samson de Dol) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Dol-de-Bretagne, Brittany, dedicated to Saint Samson.
It was formerly the seat of the Archbishop of Dol, one of the nine ancient bishoprics of Brittany. The archbishopric was suppressed during the French Revolution and abolished by the Concordat of 1801, when it was merged into the dioceses of Rennes and St. Brieuc.
