Dunblane Cathedral is the larger of the two Church of Scotland parish churches serving the small city of Dunblane, near the city of Stirling, in central Scotland. It was once the home of the bishops of Dunblane, until the abolition of bishops after the Scottish Reformation. Technically, therefore, it is no longer a cathedral, as there are no bishops in the Church of Scotland, which is a Presbyterian denomination.
William Chisholme, Catholic bishop of the cathedral of Dunblane in 1561, later became bishop of Vaison.
It contains the graves of Margaret Drummond, a mistress of King James IV of Scotland and her two sisters.
Unusually, the building is owned by the Crown, through the government agency Historic Scotland.
It is one of four churches in the town, the others are St. Blane's (another Church of Scotland congregation, named after the town's founder), St. Mary's (an Episcopal church) and the Catholic Church of the Holy Family.
The current minister (since 1988) is the Reverend Colin McIntosh.
