Vabres Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur-et-Saint-Pierre de Vabres) is a Roman Catholic church and former cathedral in Vabres-l'Abbaye, France.
It was formerly the seat of the Bishopric of Vabres, established in 1317 and abolished under the Concordat of 1801.
In 1793, during the French Revolution, the cathedral was gutted by a battalion of the Revolutionary army. The soldiers removed a marble altar to build a monument for the recently murdered Jean-Paul Marat and then burned the cathedral.
