The Freiburg Cathedral (or Münster Unserer Lieben Frau) is the Roman Catholic parish church of Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, begun in the Romanesque style and largely completed in the Gothic and late Gothic styles. It was built from about 1200 to 1513. Since Freiburg became an episcopal see in 1827 (Archbishopric of Freiburg), the church is formally a cathedral today, but is traditionally called a "Münster" and not a "cathedral".

The distinctive tower of the cathedral, once described by the Swiss art historian Jacob Burckhardt as the "most beautiful tower on earth", is 116 metres high and offers a viewing platform at a height of 70 m. After the completion of the 116-metre-high west tower around 1330, Freiburg Cathedral was one of the tallest church buildings for over a century and thus also one of the tallest buildings in the world at that time.
