Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral Parish, commonly known as Dipolog Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic church located in Estaka, Dipolog, Zamboanga del Norte in the Philippines. The cathedral is the seat of the Diocese of Dipolog.^[1]

Dipolog was formerly a barrio of Dapitan.^[2] In April 1894, the construction of the church of Dipolog was begun while the first Mass within the completed church was held in June 1894.^[3] The parish of Dipolog was founded on June 30, 1896^[1][3] with Fr.

In 1986, the nave‘s main columns were removed under the helm of Msgr. Salvador Mora. As part of centennial anniversary of Dipolog’s parish foundation in 1996, the cathedral’s main reredos was restored with carved marble under Msgr. Esteban Gaudicos. Bishop Jose Manguiran, Dipolog’s second bishop, led the cathedral interior renovation in 2007, the original walls restoration in 2008, and the 2009 renovation of the façade. Then Manila cardinal-archbishop Gaudencio Rosales led the blessing of the renovated façade in May 2009.^[4]
