The St Mary's Pro-Cathedral, or St Mary's Church, is a Catholic church located on Manchester Street in Christchurch, in the South Island of New Zealand.
It serves as the seat of the bishop of the Latin Church Diocese of Christchurch (Dioecesis Christopolitana), which was erected in 1887.
The parish was established in 1889, and the building served as a parish church from its construction until it obtained the temporary status of pro-cathedral, as a result of the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011, in which the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament was seriously damaged and later demolished.
