The Catholic Church Cathedral of Christ the Saviour (Chinese: 天主教耶穌救世主總堂) is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Taichung. It is located at No. 100, Section 2, Sanmin Road, Central District, Taichung, Taiwan.
The parish was established in 1915. Construction of the present church began in 1957 and was completed in 1958.
The cathedral follows the Roman Rite and is the principal church of the Diocese of Taichung (Dioecesis Taichungensis). The territory was established as an apostolic prefecture in 1950 and entrusted to Maryknoll. On April 16, 1962, Pope John XXIII elevated it to a diocese. William F. Kupfer (蔡文興) was installed as its first bishop at the cathedral on September 23, 1962. The current bishop is Su Yao-Wen (蘇耀文).
