Mainz Cathedral or St. Martin's Cathedral (Der Hohe Dom zu Mainz) is located near the historical center and pedestrianized market square of the city of Mainz, Germany.

In World War II, Mainz was a target of Allied bombing multiple times. The cathedral was hit several times in August 1942. Most of the roofs burned, and the top level of the cloister was destroyed. The vault, however, withstood the attacks and remained intact. The damaged elements were restored as authentically as possible, a process which continued well into the 1970s. In addition, much of the glass in the cathedral was replaced. .
