St Andrew’s Cathedral (also known as St Andrew’s Anglican Cathedral) is a cathedral church of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney in the Anglican Church of Australia. The cathedral is the seat of the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney and Metropolitan of New South Wales (currently the Most Reverend Kanishka Raffel since 28 May 2021). The position of Dean of Sydney has been vacant since Archbishop Raffel’s consecration and installation as Archbishop on 28 May 2021.

The St Andrew’s has an Evangelical ministry, holding services every day, including a weekly healing service. There is a cathedral choir of men and boys who sing during term time, as well as a company of bell ringers. The notable pipe organ has been restored and is regularly used for recitals and concerts.

Designed primarily by Edmund Blacket on foundations laid by James Hume, the cathedral was built from 1837 to 1868, and was ready for services and consecrated in 1868, making it the oldest cathedral in Australia.

St Andrew’s is one of the city’s finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture. Joan Kerr described the cathedral as “a perfect example of the colonial desire to reproduce England in Australia in the mid nineteenth century.”

The cathedral is located at 1400 George Street in the Sydney central business district, in the City of Sydney local government area of New South Wales, Australia. St Andrew’s is owned by Anglican Church Property Trust. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 3 September 2004; is listed on the City of Sydney local government heritage register; and is listed on the (now defunct) Register of the National Estate.

A cathedral was planned by Governor Lachlan Macquarie to be an impressive building in the centre of Sydney within a large square which would contain major civic buildings. He foresaw that Sydney would grow into a large city requiring a large cathedral. With the architect Francis Greenway, who had been transported to Sydney for forgery, Macquarie planned a church 61-metre (200 ft) square and probably with the seating and galleries facing inward from three sides. The foundation stone was laid with full ceremony on 31 August 1819. Only a few foundations were laid, however, before the plan was abandoned. It was later moved to accommodate development under Governor Bourke to make George Street straight rather than interrupted by a large square. Macquarie’s plans were abandoned with the appointment of Commissioner Bigge to the colony and St James’ was constructed in place of the proposed cathedral as a church for Sydney.
