The Cathedral of the Divine Savior (Katedrála Božského Spasitele in Czech) in the Moravian city of Ostrava is the episcopal cathedral of the Roman Catholic diocese of Ostrava-Troppau. The co-cathedral is the Assumption Church in Opava.

The former village of Mährisch Ostrau grew into an industrial city in the last third of the 19th century due to the coal mining industry. The only church of St. Wenceslas until the 1870s was no longer sufficient. Between 1883 and 1889 the new parish church of the Divine Redeemer was built.

Based on designs by Gustav Meretta and Max von Ferstel, a representative three-aisled basilica was built in the neo-renaissance style. The semicircular main apse and two side apses adjoin the seven-bay nave in the southeast, and the portal facade with the two 67 m high towers in the northwest.

The interior is framed in white, coffered and structured with pillars with front half-columns and horizontal beams. The economical equipment takes a back seat to the clear spatial effect.

With the establishment of the Ostrava-Troppau diocese by Pope John Paul II in 1996, the Church of the Redeemer was elevated to the status of a cathedral. In 1998 she received a new organ.
