Christ Church Cathedral on Ross Road, in Stanley, Falkland Islands, is the southernmost cathedral in the world, consecrated in 1892. It is known for its whalebone arch, made from the jaws of two blue whales, which was raised in 1933.

The Rector of the Cathedral reports directly to the Archbishop of Canterbury. An image of the church is featured on the reverse side of all Falkland Islands pound banknotes. The current encumbent is Reverend Paul Sweeting.
