Casablanca Cathedral, church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is a former Roman Catholic Church located in Casablanca. It was built in 1930. It ceased its religious function in 1956, after the independence of Morocco, and became a cultural center which is open to visitors.

The church was designed by French architect Paul Tournon, using the Neo-Gothic style. It is commonly referred to as a cathedral although in reality it has never technically been one as it was never the seat of a bishop.
