The Cathedral Church of Saint German or Peel Cathedral is located in Peel, Isle of Man. The cathedral is the parish church of the parish of German, which includes the town of Peel, and was built 1879-84[1]. It was made the cathedral by Act of Tynwald in 1980[2]. The original cathedral of St German was inside the walls of Peel Castle and fell into ruin in the 18th century.

The cathedral has a dean and chapter[3]. Until 15th October 2011 the Bishop of Sodor and Man was dean ex officio, but on that date the Vicar of the parish of German became dean ex officio[4]. The chapter consists of the Archdeacon of Man ex officio and four canons, who are all parochial clergy.
