St James Old Cathedral, an Anglican church, is the oldest church in Melbourne, Australia. It is one of only three buildings in the central city which predate the Victorian gold rush of 1851.The parish is led by the Reverend Canon Matthew Williams. The Senior Associate Minister is the Reverend Mike Raiter, who is also director of the Centre for Biblical Preaching. The Family Connections minister is Jess Naylor-Tatterson.
The parish is served each Sunday by The Old Cathedral Voices, a semi-professional all-scholar consort choir which sings music from the Renaissance era to contemporary anthems, including regular new commissions and premieres. The organist is David Brown.
More recently, the church has begun serving as the chapel for Haileybury College's City Campus.
The building is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.
