The Cathedral of Saint John of Bensançon (French: Cathédrale Saint-Jean de Besançon), commonly known as Besançon Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic church located in the town of Besançon, France. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Besançon.

The cathedral consists of a large nave between two aisles, and dates from the 11th to the 13th century. It has two facing apses, each with an altar. The lack of a transept and the facing apses parallel the designs of contemporary German cathedrals. The Romanesque arches date from the 13th century. It does not have a main doorway. The choir dates to the 18th Century.
