Holy Mother of God Cathedral (Armenian: Սուրբ Աստվածամոր Հովանու մայր տաճար, romanized: Surb Astvatsamor Hovanu Mayr Tachar), also known as Surb Astvatsamor Hovanu Cathedral, is a church of the Armenian Apostolic Church, located in the city of Khankendi (Armenian: Stepanakert), Azerbaijan.

A 4-meter statue of King Vachagan III was planned[needs update] to be placed on a 2-meter pedestal near the church.

[4] The last liturgy was served in the cathedral on 1 October 2023 after the majority of the Armenian population had fled the city and Azerbaijan had taken control.
