The Cathedral Church of St Mary and St Helen is the Roman Catholic cathedral in the English town of Brentwood, Essex. It is the seat of the Diocese of Brentwood.

A parish church was built in a gothic style in 1861, and this relatively small building was raised to Cathedral status in 1917. Between 1989 and 1991 it was much enlarged in an Italianate Classical style by Quinlan Terry, with most of the original church building retained on the south (liturgical east) side.

The cathedral has a square plan focussed on the high altar, placed in the nave to accommodate the changes in liturgical fashion after the Second Vatican Council. The interior is very light, as the windows in all four walls are glazed with plain glass, and light is also admitted from the cupola placed above the high altar.
