The Cathedral Church of the Redeemer is located in the city center of Calgary, Alberta. It is the seat of the Anglican Diocese of Calgary.

The original Church of the Redeemer, a wood frame building erected just east of the present site, was completed and opened for August 3, 1884. It was the first Anglican church to be built in what is now the Diocese of Calgary. Originally intended to serve as a parish church, it was proclaimed the temporary pro-cathedral on February 14, 1889, following the creation of the Diocese of Calgary and pending the assumed ultimate construction of a cathedral.

The parish replaced the church with a more elaborate structure in 1905, during Calgary's famous sandstone era. It is of local, rough cut Paskapoo sandstone, and has one of the oldest tin roofs in Calgary. It was designed by J.C.M. Keith of Victoria, British Columbia. The original cornerstone, laid to mark the centennial of the building, stated that it was laid down by the Earl of Minto, Governor General of Canada on September 8, 1904. It was completed and opened for services on July 30, 1905. It was designated to full cathedral in June 1949, when it was obvious that a large edifice of British or European proportions would not be built in Calgary. In September 1974, the Cathedral building was designated a Registered Heritage Site, under provisions of the Alberta Heritage Act, 1973.

In December 2004, the seventh Bishop of Calgary made the very controversial proposal to undesignate the Cathedral Church of the Redeemer and appoint another church as the diocesan seat. This controversy in addition to the controversial closures of three parish churches within the Diocese of Calgary (one of which was reversed) led to the resignation of the Bishop. The eighth Bishop of Calgary, the Rt Rev Derek Hoskin, was consecrated and enthroned in the Cathedral Church of the Redeemer on September 29, 2006.

The Cathedral measures 145 feet long and 70 feet wide. The height from the floor of the nave to the pine ceiling is 45 feet. In 1936, the Lady Chapel, the gift of Henry and Eleanor Tomkins, was constructed. In its tower hangs a bell, which had originally hung in the tower of the first wooden church on the site. The bell was donated as a reminder to Corporal Lowry of the North-West Mounted Police who died during the Riel Rebellion of 1885.
