The Cathedral of St. Lawrence (Croatian: Katedrala Sv. Lovre) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Trogir, Croatia.

It was built between the 12th century and 17th century, serving as the most imposing monument in the city of Trogir. Trogir cathedral, most of it completed in 1251, is the most archaic in the construction of its interior arcades: the two aisles are separated from the nave by massive elongated pylons. A thick wall pierced with arched opens ‑ an early Romanesque method. Only one of the two planned towers (the southern), was raised. Since its construction lasted several centuries, it illustrates all the styles that succeeded one another in Dalmatia.

The Croatian architect Master Radovan worked on the cathedral's gateway (main west portal) early in its construction. Other significant artisans who worked on the building were Ivan Budislavić and Grgur Vidov in the 15th century.

The cathedral is part of the historic core of Trogir, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.^[1]
