Riez Cathedral (Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Riez) is a Roman Catholic church located in the town of Riez in the département of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence in south-eastern France. It is a national monument.

It was formerly the seat of the Bishopric of Riez, abolished by the Concordat of 1801, which transferred its territory to the Bishopric of Digne.
