List of cathedrals in Ukraine

List of cathedrals in Ukraine and cathedral temples that includes temples that used to have cathedra.

Since 1992 there has been a movement to organize a separate Ukrainian Orthodox Church independently of the Russian church. In 2018, that church became the Orthodox Church of Ukraine recognized by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and now led by Epiphanius. This church is unrecognized by the Russian Orthodox Church.

All of the Russian Orthodox Church temples in Ukraine are organized as the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate).

In addition, a smaller independent church exists led by Filaret, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kyiv Patriarchate

For disambiguation purposes the church recognized by Constantinople is identified as Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU), the Russian Orthodox Church is identified as the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) (UOC-MP) and the church led by Filaret as the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Kyiv Patriarchate) (UOC-Kyiv).

The Russian Orthodox Church continues to possess the highest number of dioceses and major temples in Ukraine. Many of the dioceses were created after the fall of the Soviet Union in 2000s and later. After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine ownership of several sites has become disputed.
