Malolos Cathedral is the Roman Catholic cathedral in Malolos City, Bulacan, in the Central Luzon region of the Philippines. It serves as the principal church of the local Catholic diocese and is a focal point for religious activity in the city.

The cathedral traces its origins to the Spanish colonial period and has undergone rebuilding and restoration over the centuries; its present form reflects those historical phases rather than being an intact colonial fabric. The building is used for regular liturgical services and major diocesan events.

As the cathedral of the Diocese of Malolos, it holds administrative and ceremonial functions for the local Catholic community. Its location in Malolos places it within the city centre and the historic civic and religious district of Bulacan province.

Geographically the cathedral is in Malolos City, Bulacan, approximately 40 kilometres north of Metro Manila, and is reachable by road from Manila and other parts of Central Luzon.

• Diocesan seat: Serves as the cathedral church and seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Malolos, a principal church in the province of Bulacan.

Malolos Cathedral is in Malolos City’s historic center near Plaza Rizal. From Manila take buses bound for Malolos (Victory Liner, Baliwag Transit) to Malolos bus terminal-then a short tricycle or jeepney ride to the plaza. Within Malolos the cathedral is walkable from major civic points.

• Attend Mass on a weekday morning to see the cathedral with fewer visitors and to hear the organ if a service is scheduled.
• Walk the churchyard for 19th‑century tombstones that tell the social history of Malolos's elite families.
• Visit the nearby Barasoain Church and municipal hall-both are within a short stroll and deepen understanding of the city's role in Philippine independence.
