Vaison Cathedral, or Our Lady of Nazareth Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-Nazareth de Vaison), is a Roman Catholic church and former cathedral in Vaison-la-Romaine, France.

It was formerly the seat of the Bishopric of Vaison, abolished under the Concordat of 1801.

The structure of Our Lady of Nazareth Cathedral in general dates from the 11th century, but the apse and the apsidal chapels are from the Merovingian period.

Saint-Quenin church is another former cathedral of Vaison ; its construction was completed by bishop William Chisholm III, nephew of his predecessor, bishop William Chisholm II, former Catholic bishop of Dunblane.
