St. Columba's Cathedral in Oban is the seat of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Argyll and the Isles. The cathedral is located on the sea front in the Northern end of Oban.

The cathedral was designed by the architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the foundation stone was laid in 1932 and the building completed in 1959, it is designed in the Neo-Gothic style. The work was partially funded by money raised by the Bishop in the USA, Canada and Ireland. It is constructed from pink Peterhead and blue Inverawe granite.

In the Middle Ages the cathedral of the Isles was north of Oban on the island of Lismore. Dedicated to St Moluag, Lismore Cathedral is now a Church of Scotland parish church.
